The ideal water temperature for brewing Matcha tea

Matcha tea is a popular and traditional Japanese tea that has been gaining increasing popularity worldwide in recent years.

Made from ground green tea leaves, matcha tea is known for its grassy flavor and bright green color.

However, one key aspect of preparing matcha tea that is often overlooked is the correct water temperature.

The importance of water temperature

The temperature of the water affects the taste, color, and aroma of the tea.

If the water temperature is too high, it can result in a bitter and astringent taste, while if it is too low, the tea may not brew properly.

The ideal water temperature for matcha tea is between 70°C and 80°C (158°F and 176°F).

This temperature range ensures that the tea will not be overly bitter or weak, but rather will have a rich, smooth, and creamy flavor.
