It turns out that this simple task also requires skill.

Brewing tea bags is even easier than using classic loose tea. But there are some nuances here too.

Even during such a simple procedure, mistakes are made. Any tea, regardless of the variety, should be brewed with water that has just been heated.

The only difference is that the brewing temperature is different. Not all tea can be poured with boiling water. For example, bags of herbal or green tea are placed in water heated to 70-80 degrees.

Hotter water will destroy all the useful substances, change the taste of the drink for the worse. As a result, you will only get a waste of tea.

Black tea and oolong tea can be brewed with boiling water. These varieties reveal their taste qualities best at 100 degrees.

With red tea, the situation is different. You don't need to bring it to a boil. The optimal temperature varies from 90 to 95 degrees.
