Here’s How To Make The Perfect Cup Of Tea

TEA-STEEPING-TIMES (1)

The perfect cup of tea is waiting for you, somewhere.

But first — you have to make it. And while making a hot cup of tea sounds relatively easy (just dump the teabag in some hot water, right?), this infographic has got it down to a SCIENCE.

No more guessing about how long to let your green tea, black tea, or white tea steep — this helpful chart of sorts has broken it down to the best temperatures and times for six common types of tea.

Things that we learned: Green tea only needs 1-2 minutes (since it can be so strong), and herbal tea needs boiling water (210 degrees) and a bit more time (3-6 minutes) to release that flavor. Makes sense!
