Quick Answer
Brew Prince of Peace Jasmine Green Tea with water at 175°F (80°C) and steep for 2–3 minutes. This temperature and timing preserve the delicate floral notes without extracting bitterness.
Why Water Temperature Matters
Jasmine green tea is made by scenting green tea leaves with jasmine blossoms. The green tea base is delicate—water that is too hot (near boiling) will scorch the leaves and release tannins, making the tea bitter and astringent. Water that is too cool will not extract enough flavor, leaving the tea weak and flat.
Aim for water around 175°F (80°C). If you do not have a temperature-controlled kettle, boil water and let it sit for about 2 minutes before pouring it over the tea bag.
Steeping Time: The Difference Between Fragrant and Bitter
Green tea leaves infuse quickly. Steeping longer than 3 minutes pulls out bitter compounds, especially if the water is on the hotter side. For a lighter, more floral cup, steep closer to 2 minutes. If you prefer a stronger flavor, use two tea bags rather than extending the steep time.
Prince of Peace Jasmine Green Tea bags are designed for single servings. Using one bag per 8 oz (240 ml) cup gives a balanced brew.
How to Brew Prince of Peace Jasmine Green Tea
- Step 1: Heat the water: Bring fresh, cold water to a boil, then let it cool for about 2 minutes. The target temperature is 175°F (80°C). If you have a thermometer, use it. No thermometer? A 2-minute rest after boiling is usually enough. Common mistake: pouring boiling water directly onto the tea bag. This scorches the leaves and causes bitterness.
- Step 2: Place the tea bag in your cup: Use one Prince of Peace Jasmine Green Tea bag per 8 oz (240 ml) cup. For a larger mug, use two bags.
- Step 3: Pour the water and steep: Pour the hot water over the tea bag and start a timer. Steep for 2 minutes for a lighter, more floral cup, or 3 minutes for a stronger flavor. Do not exceed 3 minutes. Common mistake: steeping too long. Green tea becomes bitter after 3 minutes. Set a timer to avoid guesswork.
- Step 4: Remove the tea bag and enjoy: Gently squeeze the tea bag against the side of the cup with a spoon to release any remaining liquid, then remove it. Do not squeeze too hard or you may extract bitter tannins. Drink plain or add a touch of honey if desired.
