Powdered Green Tea Preparation
The beautiful thing about preparing our powdered Green Tea is the ease and convenience. It easily mixes well in hot or cold water – without the need for steeping.
To make a normal size cup of tea you’ll only need 1/4 teaspoon. If you’re using our specially designed bottle with our convenient ‘shaker style top’ – you simply turn the bottle upside down and give it 1-2 shakes to get the desired amount.
Naturally, you are always free to make your tea a little stronger or weaker depending on the taste you prefer. If your wondering which tea is right for your tastes please refer to our green tea product choices page
HOT TEA TIP: We recommend that you do NOT use boiling water when making tea. There are several reasons for this recommendation.
The first reason is excessive heat can damage the nutritional goodness of the tea itself. The next reason is because the longer water is boiled – the more it depletes the natural oxygen found in the water itself (and you know the body thrives on oxygen).
COLD TEA TIP: For a large glass (14 oz.) of tea we suggest starting with 1/2 teaspoon. For a water bottle (16-24 oz in size) 1/2 – 1 teaspoon or 3-4 shakes from the tea shaker bottle is recommended.
Consider using a ‘shaker bottle’ that has a cap or even Martini Shaker. You could also try using a Blender. Whether using a water bottle or a glass you should stir or shake well to assist the tea to dissolve.
NOTE: If it takes some time to drink your tea it is not uncommon to see some tea settle to the bottom. Simply stir the tea in your cup again (or re-shake your bottle). The point is to get that tea into your body where it’ll do the most good!
Many people enjoy adding a little Honey or Agave (from cactus) for sweetness and others also enjoy adding a touch of lemon juice as well.
With a little experimentation you’ll quickly decide exactly how you prepare your tea to your personal liking.
Depending on the tea and the amount you are using; it also helps to re-stir or shake (if cold) the tea from time to time as you drink it.
