Hot tea is normally drinkable at between 60°C and 65°C (140 to 150°F). It cools from the temperature at which it is brewed, especially if milk is added.
The water for tea is normally brought to a full boil before the brewing process. The temperature used for brewing tea depends on the type of tea, but may range from 75°C for white teas, to 80°C for green tea, to 90°C for Oolong teas and full boiling temperature for black teas.

∙ 12y agoThe best water temperature for brewing tea depends entirely on the tea in question.
- All black teas should be brewed in water that's just come off the boil - cooler water will just not release all of the flavours from the leaves.
- Green teas are best brewed in water a bit cooler - at around 80°C
- White teas require water a tad cooler at around 75°C - any hotter and the delicate flavours will be lost
- Oolong teas are best brewed in water that's very nearly boiling - at around 90°C
Once the tea has brewed, it will have lost some heat, of course. When it is poured out, it will usually be too hot to drink - although with Black tea many people do add milk, which will cool it down.
Generally tea becomes drinkable once it has cooled to around 60°C or 65°C.
