Darjeeling green tea is brewed at 60-75 °C for 2-3 minutes. As it is of very good quality, it can be brewed several times. The first infusion has stimulating and refreshing properties, while the next ones are calming and relaxing. Some recommend that the first infusion should be discarded, as it may contain a lot of impurities. Green tea is commonly used in cosmetology for the production of lotions, creams, tonics and even perfumes. Tea oil is used in the production of antifungal agents, e.g. to fight nail mycosis.
