🫖 Brewing The Perfect Cup of Yorkshire Tea Decaf English Breakfast, 80 Tea Bags 250g
- 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.
