Start with good water, such as bottled spring or filtered tap water (avoid distilled water). Heat cool water until it just reaches a full boil. For green and white teas, allow the water to cool to 160-180°F before pouring over the tea. A preheated ceramic teapot is best - avoid using any metal. Use two to three grams of loose tea per cup—usually one to two teaspoons, depending on leaf size. Steeping times vary with the tea type and leaf size, but a rule of thumb is two to three minutes for green and white teas and five minutes for black and oolong teas. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.frontiercoop.com/learn/nf_tea.html"><P align="left"><SPAN class="Header">How should tea be stored?</SPAN>
Loose tea should be stored in a cool, dry, airtight, opaque container. Tea tins with tight-fitting lids are ideal. Do not store loose teas in the freezer or refrigerator.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6E12F915-C5D4-4339-B899-504D81228964/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
