Quick answer
Brew Jasmine Pear tea bags at 80°C (176°F) for 2–3 minutes. Use one bag per 250 ml (8 oz) cup, and avoid boiling water to keep the green tea and jasmine notes soft rather than bitter.
Why temperature matters more than steep time
Green tea leaves release their best flavors at lower temperatures. Water that is too hot pulls out bitterness and can mask the delicate jasmine and pear notes. If you do not have a thermometer, let boiled water rest for about 2–3 minutes before pouring over the bag. This simple pause is often the difference between a crisp, floral cup and a harsh one.
When to choose a longer or shorter steep
Start with 2 minutes if you prefer a lighter, more fragrant cup. Go to 3 minutes if you want a bit more body from the green tea base. Beyond 3 minutes, the tea can turn grassy and astringent, so taste early and remove the bag as soon as the flavor feels balanced to you.
Step-by-step brewing method
- Heat the water to 80°C (176°F): Bring water to a boil, then let it rest for 2–3 minutes before pouring. If you use a thermometer, stop heating at 80°C. Common mistake: pouring fully boiling water directly onto the bag, which scalds the green tea and makes it bitter. No thermometer? The 2–3 minute rest after boiling is a reliable visual cue.
- Place one tea bag in your cup: Use one Jasmine Pear tea bag for every 250 ml (8 oz) of water. For a stronger cup, use two bags rather than steeping one bag longer. Common mistake: overcrowding a small cup with too little water, which concentrates bitterness. Adjust strength by bag count, not by extending steep time past 3 minutes.
- Pour water and start timing: Pour the heated water over the bag and begin timing immediately. Steep for 2–3 minutes. Common mistake: walking away and losing track—set a timer if needed, because even 30 seconds over can change the cup. Taste at 2 minutes; remove the bag when the flavor feels balanced.
- Remove the bag and serve: Lift the bag out without squeezing it. Squeezing releases extra tannins and can make the tea harsh. Serve immediately. Common mistake: leaving the bag in the cup while you drink, which keeps steeping and turns the tea stronger and less floral. If you want to hold the cup, transfer the brewed tea to a second cup or remove the bag first.
