🔍 How Does Typhoo QT Compare to:

- Tetley Instant: Typhoo QT provides a much creamier and more consistent taste profile that avoids the powdery finish often associated with budget instant teas.
- Traditional Tea Bags: Typhoo QT offers unmatched convenience for travel and office use eliminating the mess of wet bags and the need for refrigeration.
🫖 Brewing The Perfect Cup of Typhoo QT One Cup Instant Tea With Whitener, 125g
- Water temperature: 75 to 80°C; white tea is even more heat-sensitive than green and boiling water will scorch the delicate buds.
- Measure: One bag (or one heaped teaspoon of loose leaf) per 200ml of water.
- Steep: 3 to 5 minutes. White tea has very low tannins so it cannot really be over-brewed, a longer steep simply gives more body without bitterness.
- Service: No milk and no sugar; the cup is naturally sweet with notes of fresh hay and stone fruit.
- Cold brew: Drop one bag into 250ml of cold water and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours; the result is silky and almost honeyed.
- Best with: very fresh fruit (white peach, lychee), almond pastries, mild cheeses, or simply alone for a quiet mid-morning cup.
