teas.co.uk · 6 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 Teapigs Silver Tips White Tea temple
• 200ml freshly drawn water (used at 75C, off boil and stood 3 minutes)

Method

1. Bring the kettle to a boil, then take it off the heat and leave it to stand, lid open, for three full minutes to drop to around 75C.
2. Pre warm a small cup with a little hot water, swirl, and tip it out. A small cup holds the low temperature better than a big mug.
3. Drop the tea temple into the cup and pour the 75C water over it.
4. Cover the cup with a saucer and steep for three to four minutes.
5. Lift the temple out gently and discard, without pressing; the delicate buds give their best with light handling.
6. Serve straight away, with nothing added.
