That is interesting about the thermometer! I noticed my tea always tastes like ass if I use boiling water, so now I add a bit of cold water after it boils. What is the optimum temperature?

It depends on the tee. Most green tea advises to use 70°C water.

A good approximation of that is taking 2/3 boiling water and 1/3 tap water (if you have 10°C tap water that works out to exactly 70°C). Don't forget stirring before adding it to tea, to make sure it's well mixed.

For optimal results obviously read the packaging of your tea and use a thermometer.

We have a kettle that can be set to temperatures between 60°C and 100°C. I cannot recommend this enough.
