Let the kettle cool for a minute to around 80C, give Tropical Sun Green a short two-minute steep, and it comes out fresh and lightly grassy instead of bitter. If you have no temperature kettle, the trick is to start the mug with a splash of cold water.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
