Quick Answer

For a smooth, savory cup of Nepal Green Organic, brew at 175°F for 2 minutes using 1 teaspoon of leaves per 8 ounces of water. Adjust steeping time to taste.

Why Water Temperature Matters

Nepal Green Organic is a high-elevation green tea with a delicate, savory profile. Boiling water can scorch the leaves, bringing out bitterness and masking the green bean and edamame notes. Sticking to 170–180°F preserves the tea's natural sweetness and mellow roasted nut finish.

If you don't have a thermometer, bring water to a boil and let it cool for about 2 minutes. This simple step helps avoid the sharp edge that comes from overheating the leaves.

Adjusting Strength to Your Taste

The tea's flavor is fresh and comforting, with no bitterness when brewed correctly. If you prefer a stronger cup, increase the leaf amount rather than steeping longer. Extra steeping time can draw out astringency, which overpowers the tea's gentle character.

Start with 1 teaspoon per 8 ounces, then adjust by ¼ teaspoon increments. This gives you control without risking a harsh brew.

Brewing Steps for Nepal Green Organic

  1. Heat Water to 175°F: Bring fresh, filtered water to a boil, then let it cool for about 2 minutes until it reaches 170–180°F. Using a thermometer is the most reliable way to hit the target. Checkpoint: If the water is too hot, the tea will taste bitter and lose its sweet, savory notes.
  2. Measure the Leaves: Use 1 teaspoon of Nepal Green Organic leaves per 8-ounce cup. This ratio gives a balanced brew that highlights the green bean and edamame flavors. Checkpoint: Avoid overpacking the spoon; a level teaspoon is enough. Too many leaves can make the tea overly strong and astringent.
  3. Steep for 2 Minutes: Pour the hot water over the leaves and steep for 2 minutes. This short steep extracts the sweet, nutty notes without pulling out bitterness. Checkpoint: Set a timer – steeping longer than 2.5 minutes can make the tea taste harsh and lose its gentle character.
  4. Strain and Serve: Remove the leaves by straining the tea into your cup. The liquor should be a clear, pale green with a soothing aroma. Checkpoint: If the tea tastes too weak, next time add a little more leaf, not more time. If it's too strong, reduce the leaf amount slightly.
