Quick Answer

For the best flavor, brew Little Buddha Green Tea Infusion with water at 175°F (80°C) and steep for 3 to 4 minutes. Use fresh, filtered water for a clean, balanced cup.

Why Water Temperature Matters

Green tea is delicate. Boiling water can scorch the leaves and bring out bitter, astringent flavors. Little Buddha Green Tea Infusion contains green tea blended with licorice root, peppercorns, chamomile, and tropical fruits. A lower temperature preserves the gentle sweetness of the chamomile and the citrusy notes while keeping the green tea smooth.

Choosing Your Water

Tap water with strong mineral content or chlorine can mask the nuanced flavors of this infusion. Filtered or spring water allows the spicy, citrusy, and fruity notes to shine. Avoid distilled water, which can taste flat.

Step-by-Step Brewing Guide

  1. 1. Heat Fresh Water to 175°F (80°C): Bring filtered water to a boil, then let it cool for about 1 minute. Alternatively, use a temperature-controlled kettle set to 175°F. Boiling water will ruin the flavor. If you don't have a thermometer, bring water to a boil and let it sit off the heat for 60 seconds.
  2. 2. Warm Your Teacup or Teapot: Pour a splash of hot water into your cup or pot, swirl, and discard. This prevents the brewing water from cooling too quickly when it hits cold ceramic. A pre-warmed vessel keeps the water at the right temperature throughout steeping.
  3. 3. Add the Infusion: Place one Little Buddha Green Tea Infusion sachet or 1 teaspoon of loose-leaf blend into your cup or infuser. Use about 8 ounces of water per serving. Don't overpack the infuser; leaves need room to expand and release flavor.
  4. 4. Pour and Steep for 3 to 4 Minutes: Pour the heated water over the leaves and set a timer. Steeping longer than 4 minutes can extract bitterness from the green tea and overwhelm the delicate fruit and chamomile notes. Start with 3 minutes for a lighter cup; go to 4 minutes if you prefer a stronger spice presence.
  5. 5. Remove the Leaves and Enjoy: Take out the sachet or strain the infusion into your cup. Sip slowly and notice the layers of citrus, spice, and floral sweetness. The blend is best enjoyed without milk or sugar. The licorice root adds natural sweetness, so you likely won't need any sweetener.
