Why I Don't Use 100°C Water in a Glass Tea Infuser Cup

Many people say black tea should be brewed with 100°C boiling water. This is true. Tea experts also use boiling water to test the quality of black tea. But in everyday life, I usually do not use 100°C water when I brew black tea in a glass tea infuser cup. The reason is simple. The glass becomes very hot. Heat can also move through the tea and the glass, so it is easy to burn your hand when you hold the cup. In this video, I will show you how I brew black tea with a glass tea infuser cup. Sometimes, using slightly cooler water makes the cup more comfortable and safer to use. Good tea is not only about the tea leaves. It is also about enjoying your tea safely and comfortably.
