Häufig gestellte Fragen

Why does green tea have a shorter steeping time?

Green tea leaves are more delicate and can become bitter if steeped too long, so a shorter time is recommended.

Can I adjust the time for personal taste?

Yes, the calculated time is a starting point. Feel free to experiment to find your perfect cup.

Does water temperature affect steeping time?

Yes, hotter water extracts faster. This calculator assumes typical brewing temperatures for each tea type.
