ABOUT TEA
All teas come from the same bush «camellia sinensis» but the taste and type of tea depends on the
area of production and on the treatment (fermentation and drying process, type of dust).

Green tea : made of dried leaves, rolled, cut and slightly roasted to avoid ferment. Brew 5
minutes only. It gives a subtle flavour, often bitter and very light colour.

Black tea : made of older leaves which are first rolled and dried. Then left to ferment. Brew 5
minutes (or more for Turkish or Russian tea). It gives strong taste and beautiful cooper colour.

Oolong tea (China) : half way between green and black. Slightly fermented. Brew 7 minutes.
Lighter in taste and colour then black tea.
RECOMMENDED BREWING TEMPERATURES
Recommended temperatures for brewing tea and coffee differ from each other, depending on quality
and sorts, tastes and preferences. Experts say that the best temperatures for brewing tea are the
following:

black tea /Russian, Turkish tea, fully fermented tea – 90ºС;

green, non-fermented tea 65-80ºС;

white, non-fermented tea 60-75ºС;

oolong, half fermented tea, depending on the type of tea etc- 60 до 95ºС.
Before brewing the tea the teapot should be evenly warmed up. Don’t warm up the teapot for a long
time. It should be of the medium temperature, so it doesn’t crack while pouring hot water. For
brewing coffee you should take only pure, non boiled water. It is important to remember that the
coffee should not be boiled, it should be brewed. If the coffee has an unpleasantly sour taste that
means that something was wrong in the process of brewing. The temperatures which are
recommended for coffee are up to 93ºС. Though the ideal can be 85ºС for different sorts.
