Blooming Tea – The Way It’s Supposed To Be

Most tea drinkers are content to just drop a tea bag in hot water, let it steep until they remember that they’re supposed to take it out and then drink their concoction. Where’s the joy in that, I wonder? Tea drinking is supposed to be about the old age ritual and observing the right way to brew to get the best cup of tea as well as just having a good cup.

To begin with a perfect concoction, you need to have the right paraphernalia in immaculate and mint state. The teapot, glass preferably for the flowering tea, the kettle, cups and strainers need to be gently and regularly cleansed using soap and baking soda to prevent stains from developing. Baking soda is great for keeping minerals and other residue from affecting the taste of the tea.

Water is another vital ingredient that could very well affect how your favorite cup of tea would taste. To have the ideal concoction, great water quality is part of the equation. To achieve the desired taste and flavor, tea drinkers may use filtered water or the bottled one as long as it is free from chemicals and chlorine. Preferably do not utilize distilled water to get the desired result.

For a cup of tea, it is recommended to heat about six ounces of water. When making a pot of flowering tea, for example, measure beforehand how many cups water are required to cover the tea ball, but include sufficient room so the tea can bloom fully in the pot. Each tea variety has its own requirement when it comes to the amount of heat and the time required for steeping. To yield the perfect brew, it is recommended to follow the directions that came with the tea you have or you could refer to the commonly accepted guideline.

*2 minutes steeping for quality black tea

*Five min. steeping for mixture of black and green tea

*Seven min. steeping for green tea

*Blooming tea – as long as it takes to blossom!

To have a great tasting second cup, Make sure to take out the infuser after the required time, so the tea doesn’t brew any longer.
