Brewing The Perfect Cup of True English Tea (T.E.T) Everyday English No 1, 20 Tea Bags 40g

• Water temperature: 100°C, just boiled water is essential for full extraction of theaflavins and thearubigins.
• Measure: One bag per 200ml of water for a standard cup; use 2 bags in 300ml if you want builder strength.
• Steep: 3 to 5 minutes; longer for a stronger, milkier cup, shorter for a lighter pour.
• Service: Add 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 version: Brew 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.
• Caffeine: contains caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.
