## Summary

A strong soft water style Welsh brew: brewed hard and short, finished with milk. Adjusts for hard water with a touch longer in the cup.

## Description

A proper Welsh brew is strong and milk-friendly, and there is a real reason behind it: Glengettie is blended for the soft water of Wales, which historically drew a bolder cup. The practical upshot is useful wherever you live. Brew it hard and short, finish with milk, and if you are in a hard-water area, let it run a touch longer, because hard water dulls the extraction.
