Green tea (Sencha, Dragonwell/Longjing, jasmine, gunpowder) is unoxidized and delicate—light, grassy, sometimes nutty. The secret to smooth, non-bitter green tea is lower temperature and shorter steeps.
How to Brew Green Tea
Tea-to-water ratio: 1 tsp (≈2 g) per 1 cup (250 ml)
Water temperature:175°F / 80°C
Steeping time:1–3 minutes (taste at 60–90 sec)
Strain & enjoy
Serving Suggestions
Keep it plain to enjoy delicate aromatics.
Iced green tea: brew double strength, pour over ice; add citrus or mint.
Flavored greens: jasmine or mint for a floral/cooling twist.
Pro Tips
Cool your water: bring to boil, let stand ~2 minutes to reach ~175°F / 80°C.
Avoid bitterness: too-hot water extracts chlorophyll and tannins.
Cold brew option: 1–2 tsp per cup in cold water; refrigerate 6–12 hrs for ultra-smooth tea.
I love javamomma! She is wonderful and even made me my special coffee that she only made for the fall. They go out of their way for you. Made me feel special!
My new favorite coffee is the Death By Chocolate! It’s so smooth and not bitter at all. I love it. I also love the whipped honeys - they are great on toast.
