How to brew green tea

Green tea is heated soon after picking to keep its fresh, vegetal character. It rewards a gentle hand: cooler water and a short steep bring out sweetness instead of bite.

Let boiled water cool for a few minutes before pouring. Too-hot water and long steeps are what make green tea taste bitter. Most greens can be steeped two or three times.

Each tea's page has its own steeping notes from the maker, so check there for the specifics.
