    "content_text": "Typhoo Premium Everyday is the big box: two hundred and forty tea\nbags, seven hundred and fifty grams, which works out at a shade over three grams in every bag. That\nlast figure is the one worth checking, because a large box is the easiest place in the tea aisle to\nhide a thinner bag, and this one is a full standard one-cup dose rather than a shrunken version of\none.\n\nWe are not going to dress this up. It is an everyday black tea, the kind that goes in a mug with\nmilk at half past seven in the morning and gets drunk without anybody thinking about it. Nobody buys\ntwo hundred and forty bags because they want to contemplate the liquor. They buy them because the\nhouse gets through a lot of tea, or because there is an office to supply, and the sensible question\nis whether the bag is honest. It is.\n\n The Taste Profile\n\n \nStrength: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cb (4/5) Brisk and straightforwardly strong. It\ncolours up fast and holds its shape when the milk goes in, which is the whole job description of an\neveryday bag.\n\n \nMaltiness: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cb\u25cb (3/5) A plain malty note underneath rather\nthan the rounded biscuit character of a more expensive blend. Present, unfussy, not the point.\n\n \nAstringency: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cb\u25cb (3/5) Enough grip to keep the cup awake and\nto stop milk flattening it. Push the steep past four minutes and it becomes the loudest thing in the\nmug.\n\n \nSmoothness: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cb\u25cb\u25cb (2/5) The honest weak spot. This is a\nworking tea and it does not have the softness of a premium blend. Milk covers most of it, which is\nwhat milk is for here.\n\nTeas.co.uk Curator Rating: 4.4 / 5 - Our expert verdict from the curators at\nTeas.co.uk\n\n The Story Behind Typhoo\n\nTyphoo is a Birmingham-born household name and one of the long-standing brands in British\neveryday tea, which is company heritage and not a statement about where the leaf in this particular\nbox was grown.\n\nThe tasting profile above is our own editorial\nassessment against the current pack format and the brand's published description.\n\nPackaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can\nrequire different disposal routes.\n\n What You Are Actually Buying\n\nA round one-cup bag: made for a mug, not a pot. Three of them in a teapot works,\nbut it is not what the format is designed around.\nBuilt for milk: the astringency exists to be softened. Drunk black this is a\nplain, brisk, slightly hard cup; with milk it is what most of the country means by tea.\nA box that lasts months: which is the one genuine catch, and we deal with it\nbelow rather than pretending it away.\nWhat it is not: not a speciality tea, not a single origin and not something to\ndrink without milk while thinking about the finish. It is a workhorse and we price and describe it as\none.\n\n How Does Typhoo Premium Everyday Compare to:\n\nTyphoo Original Breakfast Tea, 400 Tea Bags 1.25kg: the same house and the same\nbag weight at a shade over three grams, in an even bigger box. If you are already buying at this\nscale, the only real question is how fast you get through it, because a bigger box takes longer and\ntea fades in storage.\nTyphoo Original Breakfast, 80 Tea Bags 290g: the same brand in the household\nsize, and at roughly three and a half grams a bag it is actually the heavier bag of the two. Worth\nknowing before you assume the big box is the better tea rather than simply the bigger one.\nYorkshire Tea Original Everyday Blend, 80 Tea Bags 250g: the obvious rival in\nthe everyday category, in a much smaller box at a little over three grams a bag. A rounder, softer\ncup in our view, and the one to buy if the hardness of a working tea bothers you.\n\n Ideal Brewing Conditions\n\nAn everyday bag is unforgiving in one specific way: it gives you everything it has very quickly and\nthen keeps giving you tannin. The difference between a good mug and a hard one is about ninety\nseconds, which is why the bag-left-in-the-mug habit ruins more cups of tea in this country than any\nother single thing.\n\nThe Morning Mug\n\n \nMeasure: one bag per 250ml mug. At three grams there is no reason to use two unless you are\nmaking it in a pint pot.\n\n \nWater: freshly boiled at 100 degrees Celsius, and freshly drawn. Reboiled water has less\ndissolved oxygen in it and gives a flatter cup.\n\n \nSteep: three minutes for a standard mug, four if you like it strong. Then take the bag\nout.\n\n \nFinish: milk after the bag comes out, not before. Cold milk poured onto a brewing bag drops\nthe temperature and stalls the extraction.\n\n Getting It Right in the Cup\n\nWater temperature: 100\u00b0C, freshly drawn and freshly boiled.\nMeasure: one bag per 250ml, three bags in a 750ml pot.\nSteep: three to four minutes, then remove the bag. Leaving it in is the single\ncommonest fault with a tea like this.\nMilk: yes, and after the bag comes out. Whole milk suits it better than skimmed,\nwhich leaves the astringency exposed.\nStorage: decant. See below, because with a box this size it matters more than\nthe brewing does.\nIced: it works, but brew it at double strength and sweeten it, because a plain\neveryday blend has nothing to hide behind once it is cold.\n\n The Storage Problem Nobody Mentions\n\nTwo hundred and forty bags is between four and eight months of tea for most households, and the\nbox it arrives in is cardboard. Black tea does not spoil, but it does flatten, and an opened box that\nhas been standing next to the kettle catching steam and kitchen smells for six months gives a\nnoticeably duller cup than the same tea did in week one. Decant a few weeks' worth into an airtight\ntin, keep the rest of the box sealed, cool, dark and away from coffee and spices, and the last mug\nwill taste much closer to the first. That is the single most useful thing anybody can tell you about\nbuying tea at this scale.\n\n Safety And Purity\n\nIngredients and dietary suitability: The published ingredient list for this product names none of the 14 major allergens. Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change.\n\nCaffeine note: this is a black tea, so it contains caffeine. Treat it as an ordinary builder's brew.",

                "content": "Is the bag smaller because the box is bigger?No, and this is the first thing to check on any bulk box. Seven hundred and fifty grams across two hundred and forty bags is a shade over three grams a bag, which is a full standard one-cup dose. The box is big, the bag is not small. Does it contain caffeine?Yes, it is an ordinary black tea and should be treated as a builder's brew. How long should I brew it?Three minutes for a standard mug, four if you like it strong, then take the bag out. An everyday blend gives you everything it has very quickly and then keeps giving you tannin, so the difference between a good mug and a hard one is about ninety seconds. When does the milk go in?After the bag comes out. Cold milk poured onto a brewing bag drops the temperature of the water and stalls the extraction, which is how you end up with a pale mug that somehow still tastes harsh. Whole milk suits it better than skimmed. Can I use it in a teapot?You can, three bags to a 750ml pot, but this is a round one-cup bag and it is designed for a mug. In a pot it brews fast and then keeps going, so take the bags out before the first pour rather than leaving them floating. Two hundred and forty bags is a lot. Will it go off?It will not spoil, but it will flatten. That is months of tea for most households, so decant a few weeks' worth into an airtight tin and keep the rest of the box sealed, cool, dark and away from coffee and spices. The last mug will then taste much closer to the first. Where should I keep it?Anywhere except next to the kettle, which is where most people put the tea. Steam and kitchen smells are what flatten a box over a few months, so a cupboard away from the hob beats a shelf beside it every time. Is it as good as a premium blend?No, and we would rather say so. It is brisk and honest and it holds up to milk, but it does not have the softness of a more expensive tea and it is less forgiving of a long steep. Does it make iced tea?It does, provided you brew it at double strength and sweeten it. A plain everyday blend has nothing to hide behind once it is cold, so a single-strength brew over ice tastes thin. Two bags in 250ml, cooled, is the ratio. Does the water really matter?More than most people think. Use freshly drawn water rather than reboiling what is in the kettle, because reboiled water carries less dissolved oxygen and gives a flatter cup. In a hard water area a filter makes an obvious difference to a plain black tea. Is this the same as the Typhoo breakfast blend?They are different products from the same house, and at a shade over three grams a bag the bag weight is the same as the 400-bag breakfast box. If you already drink one, the sensible comparison is box size and how fast you get through it rather than any dramatic difference in the mug. Can I cook with it?Yes. A strong brew made with three bags is the traditional soaking liquid for the dried fruit in a tea loaf, and it is a better use for an everyday blend than a speciality tea would be, because you want strength and tannin rather than subtlety."

                "title": "Flavour Science",
                "content": "The flavour of Typhoo Premium Everyday is built in three layers, and reading them in order explains exactly why the cup tastes the way it does from the first lift of steam to the last swallow.The outer layer is aromatic, and with a plain everyday black tea there is honestly not much of it. The leaf in a one-cup bag is cut small so that it extracts fast, and small-cut leaf has already lost most of its volatile aromatics to the processing and the packing. What you get off a freshly poured mug is warmth and a faint maltiness rather than any distinct nose, and that is a design consequence rather than a defect: this bag is built to deliver strength in three minutes, not perfume.The flavour spike arrives almost immediately and is essentially a race between colour, strength and tannin. Small-cut leaf gives up its soluble solids in the first ninety seconds, so the cup looks ready long before it is, then the tannin keeps coming for as long as the bag sits in the water. Three minutes is where strength has arrived and astringency has not yet taken over. By five the tannin is the loudest thing in the mug, and once that has happened milk will soften it but will not remove it.The base structure is the lingering finish, and here it is grip. A good everyday tea should leave a slight dryness that makes you want the next mouthful, and this one does. What it does not have is the rounded, almost biscuity softness that a more expensive blend carries underneath the briskness. That absence is the honest difference between a working tea and a premium one, and milk is the traditional British answer to it.Getting it right in the cup. One bag per 250ml, freshly drawn water straight off the boil, three to four minutes, then take the bag out and add the milk. Reboiled water carries less dissolved oxygen and gives a noticeably flatter cup, which is the easiest free improvement available. Milk goes in after the bag comes out, never before, because cold milk stalls the extraction and leaves you with a pale mug that still manages to taste harsh. Cold brewing is not this blend's strength; small-cut black leaf gives a thin, faintly stewed result in cold water, so ice it from a double-strength hot brew instead. Stored sealed, cool and dark it keeps its character for well over a year, though an opened box beside a kettle will flatten in a few months.How water and temperature change it. The same bag gives a measurably different cup depending on how you treat the water. Full boiling water and a four-minute steep pull maximum strength and maximum tannin for a hard, assertive mug that needs milk; a shorter steep keeps it brisk and lighter and leaves the astringency behind. Hard tap water is the real enemy of a plain black tea: it dulls the flavour, builds a scum on the surface and pushes the whole cup towards flat, so in a hard water area a filter jug does more for this box than any change of technique. Soft water lets what character there is come through cleanly. None of this is a fault in the blend; it is the same leaf responding to the cup you build around it."
