How to Brew Jin Xuan No. 12 Tea Bag
Jin Xuan No. 12 tea bags can be brewed hot for a creamy, comforting cup or cold for a silky-smooth refresh. Use hot brew when you want cozy richness fast, and cold brew when you want a mellow, naturally sweet taste with zero bitterness.
Heat fresh, filtered water to 95°C (200°F), just before boiling. This temperature helps the tea release its rich aroma without becoming harsh.
Place 1 Jin Xuan No. 12 tea bag into your mug. The bag is perfectly portioned for a consistent brew.
Pour 240 ml of hot water into the mug. This amount keeps the flavor smooth and evenly infused.
Steep for 4 minutes, then remove the tea bag. The result is a creamy, mellow cup with a soft, lingering finish.
Use filtered water chilled to 4°C (40°F), straight from the fridge. Cold water keeps the brew mellow and helps the tea taste smooth instead of sharp.
Place 1 tea bag into a small jar, cup, or bottle. Make sure the bag is fully submerged so it infuses evenly.
Pour in 150 ml of cold water. This makes a more concentrated cold brew with a richer, creamier feel.
Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours, then remove the tea bag. Drink it chilled as-is, or pour over ice for an extra crisp finish.
Premium leaves, precise roasting, and the aroma that makes moments memorable.
