Brewing The Perfect Cup of Dilmah Ceylon Pure Green Loose Leaf Tea, 100g

• Water temperature: 80°C (boil the kettle and let it rest for 90 seconds). Boiling water at 100°C destroys the delicate amino acids that give green tea its smooth, sweet character.
• Measure: One bag per 200ml of water (a standard mug). For loose leaf, use one heaped teaspoon.
• Steep: 2 to 3 minutes, any longer and the cup turns bitter. Remove the bag promptly; do not squeeze.
• Service: No milk and no sugar; the natural sweet grassy notes need nothing else. A slice of lemon brightens the cup if you prefer.
• Cold brew: Drop one bag into 250ml of cold water in a glass jug and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours. The cold method extracts the sweeter compounds preferentially and is the smoothest way to drink green tea on a hot day.
• Iced version: Brew double strength (one bag in 100ml of 80°C water for 2 minutes), cool, pour over ice and dilute with cold water.
• Best with: sushi, sashimi, steamed rice dishes, dark chocolate, almond cake.
