Black Tea and Rooibos - Boiling water works best

Green Tea - Allow the water to come to a boil and then have it cool for about a minute. The ideal temperature is 140-170F.

The optimal temperature for infusing teas varies both with the type of tea, and as a function of personal taste.

The standard recommendation is for most black tea, black blends, black flavoured, oolong, flavoured oolong, and herbal teas to be infused in boiling water, and for green tea to be infused with slightly cooler water, usually around 180 degrees F or 80 degrees C, sometimes lower for certain types of tea.

During the steeping time (1 -7 minutes) the tea will cool somewhat. Adding milk will also bring the temperature down. Most people like their tea hot enough to be "hot" but cool enough not to burn their mouth… that isn't to say there aren't those who prefer their tea much cooler, and then there are those who like iced tea.

Tea needs to be brewed in boiling water. And water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.

Therefore the average fresh cup of tea is just over 100 degrees Celsius.

The tea is drunk when it cools down a little.

How do you separate the tea itself with water?

When making tea, you pour hot water over the tea for the best results. If you are using loose tea, which is not in a bag, you put the tea into a small strainer for that purpose, making it easy to pull out of the tea. Or, you can pour the tea into your cup through a small strainer that fits on the cup.
