Green Tea : Tips for Successful Brewing
Water temperature is very important when brewing this type of tea. Boiling water temperatures are usually too high and stop the release of delicate aromas and flavors of the leaves. For example Chinese green tea varieties need a slightly higher water temperature compared to Japanese tea.
