Brewing

It's easy to brew and experience the numerous health benefits that come with the tea:

Is hot water necessary?: It is necessary to use hot water, typically 90 degrees Celsius or 194 degrees Fahrenheit. Overheating leaves the tea with little flavor and instead ruin the taste of the leaves.

Time taken for steeping: Place a dosed amount of 1–2 teaspoons of Java tea leaves into your pot or infuser and let the tea steep for about five to seven minutes while focusing on your taste preferences.

Enhancements: Java Tea is faintly bitter although a little honey or lemon accentuates its flavor. Its herbal aspect can also be matched with eye-freshing fresh mint.

Iced tea option: Cool the brewed beverage and add freshly cut lemon or cucumber with ice cubes for recovery.

Enjoy: Warm or cold, gulp it down slowly since quite simple java tea contains certain medicinal characteristics that can soothe and hydrate.
