>>7000896>Temperature? You just put water in a pot and boil it right?It depends on the type of tea, for most black tea boiling is fine, but for green lighter oolong or white it would ruin the tea. If you don't want to deal with different temperatures just get black and darker oolongs
>What's loose leaf?Pic related, loose leaf is exactly what it sounds like, tea that's loose. Tea bags aren't as good taste wise as a well made cup of loose leaf, and more relevant to your search, loose leaf is often less bitter if prepared right. You'll need an infuser, I suggest the forlife in mug one, but there are plenty on the market so just go to amazon and look around for one you like (if you even want to go this route)
As for specific teas I'd say the one I got from china is really good but it might be harder for a beginner to make:
