Ideal Brewing Conditions

To unlock the full potential of your Dragonfly Organic Green Mountain, specific thermal techniques are required to prevent burning the delicate leaves.

The Barista Hot Serve

• Measure: Place one tea bag in your favourite cup or pre warmed mug.

• Water: Crucial Step: Allow boiled water to cool for 2 to 3 minutes (aiming for 80 degrees Celsius). Boiling water will burn the leaves and release bitter tannins.

• Steep: Infuse for 1 to 3 minutes. A shorter steep highlights the nutty notes; a longer steep brings out more structural grip in 2026.

• Finish: Best enjoyed plain to appreciate the subtle mountain terroir and pure botanical profile.

The Cold Brew Method

• Concentrate: Place two tea bags in a glass jar with 500ml of cold filtered water.

• Steep: Seal and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours for a slow extraction.

• Result: The cold water extracts the natural sweetness and antioxidants without releasing any bitterness, resulting in a crystal clear iced green tea for 2026.

Brewing The Perfect Cup of Dragonfly Organic Pure Green Mountain, 40 Tea Bags 80g

• 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.
