Choose the right type of green tea
There are different types of green tea available in the market, each with its own unique flavour and aroma. Choose premium tea and buy organic green tea online in India.
Measure the right amount of tea leaves
Take one teaspoon of loose Wagh Bakri green tea leaves for one cup. More than one cup of tea will need one teaspoon of green tea leaves each cup.
Add the tea leaves to the strainer
Take the loose tea leaves and keep them in the strainer or the sieve. Keep it aside and move on to the next step.
Heat water to the ideal temperature
Take a container and add water to it and keep the gas on only till the water turns hot. As soon as water starts boiling, turn off the gas. The ideal water temperature is between 80 and 85 degrees Celsius.
Steep for the recommended time
Keep the strainer in a cup and pour the water into the cup. Steep the green tea for only 2-3 minutes. If the tea is kept beyond this time or if the water is over 90°C, the tea turns grassy and bitter in taste.

Green tea brewing tips
- Maintain a water-to-tea ratio of 5:3. This means that if you want to create 3 grams of green tea, you will need 0 .14 litre of water.
- The right water temperature is important. If the water is too cool, the entire flavour of the tea's leaves will not be extracted; if the water is too hot, the tea will be too bitter and its delicate smell will be lost.
- Do not steep green tea for longer than three to four minutes, the flavour will change to bitter and grassy.
- Do not let the tea sit for too long.
- Do not reuse green tea bags.
