@galacticGal, you dont' want to boil the water for green tea either. Not even close to boiling. Green tea is best with water in the 150 to 160 F range, and water boils at 212...that's way too hot for green tea.
Oolong also should be brewed a little below boiling.
When bubbles first start to show up, it isn't actually at boiling temp yet though, the little bubbles starting at the top is about green tea temperature.
That's good to know. I learned how to make tea from a woman straight off the boat from Scotland. :) Of course, we mostly drank Black Tea. ;)
