Before anyone is all "I'm so not stupid here.", let me just say that to really enjoy of cup of tea, you have to know how to make one. Apparently, who knew, there is a little bit of an art to it. Here I am thinking: hot water into cup with teabag. Really not hard. True but not true at the same time. I found the chart at the bottom on www.2basnob.com. I was wrong. Now I know. Now you also know.Good to know.
Tea | Water Temperature | Steep Time |
| Green Tea | 160 degrees F | 1 - 3 minutes |
| White Tea | 180 degrees F | 4 - 8 minutes |
| Oolong Tea | 190 degrees F | 1 - 8 minutes |
| Black Tea | Rolling Boil | 3 - 5 minutes |
| Herbal (tisanes) | Rolling Boil | 5 - 8 minutes |
