How to brew

The 3 major elements of brewing tea

Tea & Water Ratio

Asset 1
Note: Cover the brewing tea with a lid to preserve more flavors.
9 grams of green tea will use 180ml of hot water. For large quantity brewing, the ratio is 1:20 i.e. 18g of tea will need 360ml of hot water

1 : 20

The current ratio is designed for quick extraction of tea flavor and aroma. If you have your own preferences, you can adjust the brewing ratio. While the amount of tea remains the same, you can adjust the amount of water to meet your preferences. The concentration of tea can be increased or decreased by adjusting the brewing time and water Milk tea is preferred with a thicker tea brew.
Water Quality: Filtered soft water (TDS:0-60mg)

Tips

The temperature used to brew tea will affect the taste of the tea. If the teas taste unpleasant (astringent), it may be that of the water temperature is too high, try to lower the hot water by 5°C ~ 8°C. High a temperature can easily cause the tea to release too much tannin, resulting in bitterness.

Note:

Brewing time is crucial to the overall flavor of the tea.
Common problem: Lack of flavor is often the result of insufficient brewing time, or wrong water-to-tea ratio
The brew used for milk tea drinks can prolong the brewing time Brewing time can be extended if the tea bag is being reused. If the brew is too thick, you can increase the amount of syrup to adjust the taste concentration when making drinks

Flavor Enrichment

Cooling the Tea

When freshly brew tea is cooled down right after brewing, the process enhance the overall flavor of the tea, its taste and aroma. You can place the tea cup in the ice water bowl to cool down the tea, or place the cup in the refrigerator, or freezer.
Adding ice water or ice cubes directly into the tea will dilute the tea resulting in reduced flavor and aroma.
