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
• 1 250ml mug, warmed
• 1 saucer for covering during steep

Method

1. Warm your mug with a little hot water and pour it away.
2. Boil the kettle, then let it sit for about a minute to come down to roughly 90C.
3. Drop in the pyramid bag and pour the water over.
4. Cover with a saucer 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.
