STEP 2

Boil water

When brewing Oolong tea, the water temperature should be hot but not boiling. The optimum temperature is approximately 85°C. You can use a variable temperature kettle to pre-heat the water to the ideal temperature or allow the water to cool for about two minutes and thirty seconds after boiling.
