Introduction
Brewing the perfect cup of Ceylon tea is both an art and a science. In this guide, we share our best tips for getting the most out of your tea.
Water Temperature
One of the most important factors for good tea is water temperature. For black Ceylon tea, we recommend:
Steeping Time
The steeping time affects the strength and flavor of your tea:
Use Fresh Water
Always use fresh, cold water. Reboiled water has less oxygen and can make the tea taste flat.
Amount of Tea
A rule of thumb is to use about 2-3 grams of tea (approximately one teaspoon) per cup (200 ml).
Preheating
Always preheat your teapot or cup with hot water before brewing. This helps maintain the right temperature during steeping.
Summary
With the right temperature, time, and amount, you can brew a perfect cup of Ceylon tea every time. Feel free to experiment to find your personal favorite!
