Get the Right Water Temperature
To get the perfect cup of tea, the water temperature plays a crucial role. The ideal water temperature for brewing Orange Pekoe Black tea is 100°C! But if you don't have a thermometer, simply boil the water and let it sit for a couple of minutes before adding it to your tea.

Time it Right
The rule of thumb when it comes to brewing tea is 2-3 minutes. But this rule can vary depending on the tea variety.

Steeping the tea for too long can make it too strong and bitter, while steeping too shortly could make it too weak. The best way to find out is to experiment with the steeping time and find what works best for you.
