TEA BREWING RECOMMENDATIONS

GREEN TEA:

Green tea processing implies a minimum degree of im-
pact on tea leaves. Tea leaf is not subjected to oxida-
tion or fermentation. This allows the tea to preserve all 
its bene

fi

 cial properties.

The raw materials for green tea are the buds and fresh, 
gentle leaves. Yielded tea leaf is dried to remove ex-
cess moisture and then subjected to thermal treatment 
in special boilers at a low temperature to enhance its 

fl

 avor and aroma. The same heat treatment signi

fi

 cant-

ly slows down the process of oxidation in the leaf and 
the tea longer remains fresh and tasty.
Green tea has a tonic, invigorating and restorative ef-
fect on the body. It contains large amounts of vitamins 
and minerals, improves metabolism, lowers choles-
terol, has disinfectant properties, and helps to reduce 
weight.
Brewing recommendations:
•  water temperature is 70 degrees;
•  leave for 10–30 seconds;
•  tea can be brewed 4–7 times depending on how 

much tea you put, and how strong you prefer;

•  it is advisable to drink the tea at once, as long as it 

is fresh and warm. Do not leave the tea leaf in water 
for a long period of time and do not use “yesterday’s 
brew.”

WHITE TEA:

White tea leaf undergoes minimal mechanical and 
thermal treatment (the degree of leaf oxidation is just 
5–7%). For the production of white tea, depending 
on the variety, there are selected virgin buds (tips) or 

fl

 ushes (two leaves and a bud). The peculiarity of the 

raw material processing is that it is only aired off in the 
sun and dried, without further heat treatment and twist-
ing. And tea leaf retains its natural shape. All the pro-
cesses are done by hand, and the experience of a tea 
master is very important get soft and balanced taste.
White tea has a pleasant cooling effect on the body, 
so it is especially good to drink in the summer. It is be-
lieved that white tea possesses therapeutic properties, 
lowers the blood sugar level, and may be used as an 
antipyretic agent. White tea has a mild, sweet 

fl

 avor 

and delicate aroma.
Brewing recommendations:
•  water temperature is 80 degrees;
•  leave for 20–60 seconds;
•  tea can be brewed 4–5 times depending on how 

much tea you put, and how strong you prefer;

•  it is advisable to drink the tea at once, as long as it 

is fresh and warm. Do not leave the tea leaf in water 
for a long period of time and do not use “yesterday’s 
brew.”

OOLONG:

Oolong is a special kind of tea; tea leaf oxidation varies 
from 35% to 80%. The variety of types, 

fl

 avors and aro-

mas is striking. For the manufacture of oolongs there 
are used large whole leaves. The color of the 

fi

 nal 

product varies from gray–green to dark brown. Oolong 
manufacturing technology is complex and consists of 
several stages: drying, cooling, crushing, milling, twist-
ing, heat treatment. For each type of Oolong there are 

be in a safe place for the user, so that the cord can-
not be touched or damaged.
