LCurator note · Tetley
The point of this one is speed: a finer leaf cut that throws colour and strength fast, so you get a proper deep, milk-ready mug in well under two minutes without dunking and squeezing. That suits a busy kitchen or an office tea round more than a slow morning. Be clear-eyed about the trade: fine-cut leaf is brisk and reliable rather than nuanced, this is a tea built to be quick and consistent, and at that job it does not miss.

How does it compare

vs Yorkshire EverydayWhile Yorkshire is known for being very heavy Tetley One Cup offers a more balanced briskness that is faster to infuse in single mugs.

vs Standard Tetley OriginalThe One Cup format is specifically engineered with finer leaves to release flavour and colour rapidly for people on the move.
Brewing

Brewing the perfect cup

Water temperature100°C, just boiled water is essential for full extraction of theaflavins and thearubigins.
MeasureOne bag per 200ml of water for a standard cup; use 2 bags in 300ml if you want builder strength.
Steep3 to 5 minutes; longer for a stronger, milkier cup, shorter for a lighter pour.
ServiceAdd a splash of full fat milk and stir; sugar to taste. The tannins are balanced by the milk casein, which is why British tea is almost always drunk with milk.
Iced versionBrew 4 bags strong in 500ml, dissolve 4 tablespoons of caster sugar in the warm tea, cool, dilute with 500ml of cold water and the juice of 2 lemons.
CaffeineContains caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.
Best withA full English breakfast, toast and marmalade, fruit cake, scones with cream.
