Tea is one of the most delicious and healthy drinks. The British and the people of China rightfully consider it their national treasure. And brewing tea is a whole art, because you need not only to pick up the tea leaves and fill it with water, but also to think about the quality of the water itself, about the dishes, and take into account a lot of other nuances.
Water
To appreciate the taste of this drink, you need to use pure filtered water. If you use tap liquid, impurities, bleach may appear in the drink, which will spoil the taste of the tea.
Water boiling stage
Few people know that water has three stages of boiling and that the second stage is ideal for brewing tea. In this case, bubbles begin to appear on the entire surface, and the color of the water turns white.
But when steam comes out of the kettle and everything boils and boils, this is the third stage and it is considered fatal for tea. And all because such water will simply kill all the useful properties of the product.
Welding
Using low-quality tea leaves and getting tasty and rich tea will not work. Therefore, you should refuse to buy tea leaves in the form of dust. If you want to appreciate the taste of real strong tea, it is better to purchase this ingredient in specialized stores.
Tableware
Few people know, but the dishes in which the drink is prepared also affect its taste. For example, you do not need to use a metal kettle, because in this case the taste of the water will be seriously damaged. The ideal option is porcelain or earthenware dishes.
Brewing time
It is very important to pay attention to the brewing time of this drink. It all depends on the variety, type of brewing. For example, black tea is usually brewed for 15 minutes, green tea - about 15, flavored for 2-3 minutes (time tips are usually indicated on the product packaging). After that, you can pour the drink into cups.
