You'll need

  • 1 tea bag of Williamson English Breakfast

Method

  1. Pop the bag into your mug and pour over the freshly boiled water.
  2. Brew for 3 to 4 minutes, pressing the bag once for a stronger cup.
  3. Lift out the bag, then add milk until the colour turns a bright, coppery brown.
  4. Add sugar if you like, stir, and enjoy.
  5. Kenyan tea turns coppery rather than dark brown when you add milk; that colour is a reliable sign you have a good single origin cup.
