Hi, I just stared having green tea. I bought that from Indian store(It was made in China though). It is Gun Powder brand. I don't know how to prepare it. So I just mix it up with cold water and bringing it to a boil, straining it and Having. My don't is if I boil like this will it looses it's medicinal properties? Can any body tell me how to prepare greeen tea? Your help is greatly appreciated thanks yamini
Don't do this to your tea. Gunpowder isn't a brand- it's a type. Chinese tea prepared in this fashion will be bitter and nasty. Heat your water until it's just below boiling and pour about 5 ounces into a mug that has about a teaspoon of tea (preferably in a strainer so you can get the tea out). After about three to five minutes, remove the tea. You can add sugar if you really want, but most people don't. Drink when it's cool enough to not burn your mouth..
Thank you for ur suggestions. Could you suggest any good tasting brand?
Interestingly enough, the directions I gave were fromthe Ten Ren website. I don't drink Gunpowder, so I'm no expert on it.

This is not an answer to that question, exactly, but it's an interesting primer on tea, how it can be brewed, etc. It's only one of many such sites and they all don't agree, but that seems normal.
