The Golden Rules

Bougie Macaron Five golden rules for Making Tea Successfully

For black teas, matured teas, blue teas, and flavoured teas

Pre-heat the teapot, after inserting the tea strainer or filter, * by rinsing it with boiling water.

Place a teaspoon of tea (roughly 2.5 g) per cup in the warm strainer* and let it stand for a few moments, allowing the steam to begin developing the leaves' aroma.

Pour simmering water on the tea so that all the leaves are covered.

Let the tea steep (refer to chart)
About 2 minutes for fannings
About 3 minutes for broken leaf teas
About 5 minutes for whole leaf teas
Barely 3 minutes do the first flush Darjeeling (slightly increasing the amount of tea to 3.5 g per cup)
7 minutes for blue teas

It is then essential to remove the strainer or filter*containing the leaves. the tea must then be stired (another important step) and finally poured. Teas from great gardens should not be drunk too hot; let them stand a few moments after steeping, so that the palate can better appreciate the most subtle of fragrances.

White and green teas

Pre-heat the pot or chung (cup with cover) as above.

Place the appropriate amount of tea per person or cup (refer to chart). Let the tea leaves stand for a few moments to allow the steam to begin developing the aroma.
