The most important consideration when brewing green tea is water temperature. Unlike black tea and pu-erh, green teas should never be brewed with boiling water, as this will destroy their delicate flavor and result in excessive tannins in your brew. While the ideal temperature varies, green tea is generally brewed with water between 140-189 degrees Fahrenheit. It is important to ensure that you are using the appropriate temperature of water for the specific type of green tea you are brewing, so be sure to check our article on tea water temperature to find the ideal temperature for your tea.
