Welcome to the Tea'ze A More Brewing Temperature guide, a resource crafted by our Tea Master, Renee Feirtag, to ensure you achieve the absolute best results from your tea. Achieving the exquisite flavor of gourmet tea relies on mastering one critical element: the correct water temperature. Using the right temperature for the right tea is essential; water that is too hot will scald delicate leaves (like Green or White tea), releasing excessive bitterness, while water that is too cool will fail to fully extract the complex, rich flavors of teas like Black or Pu-erh.

​

Below, you will find a detailed table specifying the optimal temperature for every tea type. To help you achieve this mastery, explore our collection of precision tools, from variable-temperature kettles to specialized thermometers. We feature traditional items with their original Asian names—such as Gaiwan—to honor the cultural authenticity and provide the descriptive clarity that allows true tea connoisseurs to master the art of temperature-perfect brewing.

​

Here's a Tip - As a general rule, more robust teas can handle hotter water.  Green Teas and White Teas are more delicate, and cooler temperatures are better.  So this does not burn the leaves.

​

Quick Reference for Key Temperatures

• Full Boil: 212°F (100°C) - For most Black, Pu-erh, and Herbal Teas.

• Near Boil: 195°F (90°C) - A good starting point for many Oolongs.

• Steaming/Brisk Simmer: 175°F (80°C) - A versatile temperature for Green and White Teas.​
