How to Brew Darjeeling Tea

teas.co.uk · 6 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 pyramid tea bag of Teapigs Darjeeling
• 250ml freshly drawn water cooled to 90C

Method

1. Rinse your mug with a little hot water to warm it, then tip it out.
2. Boil the kettle and let the water drop to about 90C; a thermometer will tell you, or use a kettle with temperature control.
3. Drop in the pyramid bag and pour the water over.
4. Put a saucer over the mug and steep for four minutes.
5. Lift the bag out and drink it black; milk masks the muscatel character that makes Darjeeling special.
6. Tip: first flush Darjeeling drinks lighter and more floral, second flush rounder and fruitier, if you fancy exploring.
