How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Green Tea

Introduction

Green tea is hailed for its health benefits—from weight loss to anti-aging properties. But many give up after a bitter first sip. The truth? It’s not the tea, it’s the method. Here’s how to unlock the best flavor from your green tea with Bengal T & J.


Step-by-Step Brewing Guide

1. Use Fresh, Filtered Water

Avoid reheating water multiple times. Fresh water enhances the clarity and flavor of green tea.

2. Don’t Boil—Simmer

Boiling water (100°C) burns green tea leaves. Instead, heat to 75–85°C (let it rest 30 seconds after boiling).

3. Measure Correctly

Use 1 tsp of green tea leaves per 150–200ml of water. Too much leaf = overly bitter brew.

4. Steep Smartly

Steep for 2–3 minutes only. More than that and you’ll release too many tannins (bitterness).

5. Avoid Sugar, Add Lemon or Honey

Green tea is best without sweeteners. But if you prefer flavor, add a drop of honey or a squeeze of lemon.


Pro Tip: Use a Transparent Teapot

Watching the leaves unfurl not only looks beautiful—it also tells you when the tea is perfectly steeped.
