The perfect recipe for tea time

Always Use good quality loose leaf or bagged tea

Always fill the kettle with freshly drawn cold water

When brewing black and oolong teas allow the water to reach boiling point before pouring onto the leaves

When brewing green tea boil water and then allow it to cool slightly before pouring onto leaves

Measure the tea carefully into the pot. Use one tea bag or one rounded teaspoon of loose tea for each cup to be served

Allow the tea to brew for the number of minutes

Small leafed black tea normally needs 2-3 minutes

Larger leafed black tea needs 3-5 minutes

Oolong teas needs 5-7 minutes

Green tea needs 1-3 minutes
