Blooming Tea – The Way It’s Supposed To Be
Majority of tea drinkers are satisfied to just simply splash a tea bag in hot water and taking a sip and sometimes even forgetting to take the tea bag out and then drink their favorite cup of tea. Tea Drinking is supposed to be a holistic experience and can be enjoyable and satisfying, just like going to a spa and get it done correctly, to get the excellent cup of tea as well as just having a good cup.
To start with a great cup of tea begins with using the right utensils, be sure all items are in clean and good condition. Everything for the tea pot, kettle, cups strainers have to be lightly washed using soap or baking soda (to protect utensils from stain). Baking soda helps keep mineral residue from accumulating which can influence the taste of your favorite tea.
Next important ingredient is water, this could very well influence how your favorite cup of tea would taste. Great tasting water will produce a great brew as well. To achieve the desired taste and flavor, use filtered water that does not have any chemicals or chlorine. Using distilled water is not recommended for that great tasting tea.
It is recommended to heat about six ounces of water for a cup of tea. When making a pot of flowering tea however, it is suggested to know the exact amount of water is required to cover up the entire tea ball with sufficient space to have the tea ball unfold completely inside. The required heat and the exact time for steeping for each tea varies, it depends on the variety of tea and how it was prepared. Refer to any instruction you may have on tea for a great result or use this as a general rule:
*Two min. 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 get a great tasting second cup, do not forget to take out the infuser when it’s time so it won’t steep anymore which could ruin the flavor and taste.
