Brewing Tips:
GREEN TEA
The green teas are all grown in Japan, where tea leaves are steamed rather than roasted creating a more delicate tea. (Roasting is typical in other tea growing regions of the world). For that reason, the green tea should be brewed for no more than a minute. Overbrewing leads to acrid bitterness.
HERBAL
Herbal teas can be so forgiving. You can brew them for 3-5 minutes like black tea or you can infuse them for hours to get more of the effects of the herbs. For the most part, they don't get tannic when overbrewed, though some can get bitter. You can just make the tea in a few minutes, but if you're wanting to get some of the properties of the herbs outside of just the tea ritual itself, let it sit for longer. More like ten or fifteen minutes.
