The Optimal Water Temperature for Brewing Tea: Preserving Nutrients, Taste, and Aroma

December 20, 2023

Amino acids in tea have beneficial effects on the human body, and they can dissolve at a water temperature of 60℃. Vitamin C, on the other hand, gets destroyed at a water temperature of 70℃. Tannins and caffeine in tea gradually dissolve at a water temperature of 70℃, but if the water temperature is too high, the tea taste becomes excessively bitter. Therefore, in order to preserve the nutrients, taste, and aroma of tea, it is best to brew tea with water temperature between 70℃ and 80℃. It is generally recommended to pour boiling water into a thermos first, and then brew the tea.
