🌱 Where does tea come from?
Tea originated in China over 5,000 years ago. According to legend, Emperor Shen Nong discovered tea by accident when tea leaves fell into his boiling water. Fascinated by the taste and refreshing effects, he shared his discovery. Over the centuries, tea spread from China across Asia, then to Europe and around the world. Today, it is enjoyed in many cultures for its varied flavors and health benefits.
🍵 How to prepare your tea properly
With these instructions, you can brew your tea to perfection without the risk of burning it or steeping it too long. When brewing green tea, it is crucial to pay special attention to the infusion, especially for Japanese green teas, which are more fragile due to their steaming. These teas require lower water temperatures, usually around 65 to 70°C, to avoid bitterness and preserve their delicate aromas. Steeping the tea for too long or using water that is too hot can make the tea bitter and astringent. For optimal taste, follow the recommended steeping times and water temperatures.
Black Tea : Heat the water: 80-85°C. Quantity of tea: 1 teaspoon (4g) per cup. Infusion: 3 to 5 minutes.
Green tea : Heat the water: 70-75°C. Quantity of tea: 1 teaspoon (4g) per cup. Infusion: 2 to 3 minutes 30.
Japanese green tea : Heat the water: 70°C max. Quantity of tea: 1 teaspoon (4g) per cup. Infusion: 1 minute 30 to 2 minutes 30.
Good tasting !
❄️ Cold infusion
Put 10 to 20g of tea in 1L of cold or room temperature water. Divide into two disposable tea bags Le Jardin de Mademoiselle. Iced tea is not an exact science: the colder the water and the larger the container, the slower the tea will infuse. Taste after the first hour. If it does not have enough flavor, add 30 minutes. Taste every additional 30 minutes until its flavors are diffused into the water.
