An ordinary tea experience can be elevated to an exceptional tea experience simply by following the protocol recommended by our master teamakers for brewing the perfect cup of tea.
Good Practices for a Good Cup of Tea
Additional measures that can be taken to ensure that your tea experience is better than ordinary include:
- Selecting high quality, premium grade tea that has been hand-picked, prepared in the traditional method and packed at source, thereby preserving its freshness, goodness and flavour.
- Storing your loose leaf or tea bags inside a clean, dry, odourless, airtight container in a cool and dry environment, once the packaging has been open.
- Using filtered or spring water of pH 7 that has not been boiled previously, and boiling the water to 100oC before allowing it to cool down to the desired temperature, if required.
Using a clean kettle that is free of limescale and sediment to boil the water.
Enhancements
Tea is best enjoyed as is for the natural taste experience. However, if you would like to enhance your cuppa, we recommend using natural enhancements such as ginger, lemon, fresh mint leaves, cinnamon, cardamom and lemongrass.
If you wish to sweeten your tea, rather than using sugar, we recommend using a natural sweetener such as pure bee honey.
Green tea, white tea, oolong tea and herbal infusions are ideal taken without milk or sweetener. Should you wish to have your black tea with milk, we recommend using a dash of warm, fresh milk.
