Tips for Better Tea

Print this Recipe




Many tea purists insist on china pots and cups. Buy tea in small batches. Store it in a cool place in a tightly sealed container.

Tea bags tend to contain more powder than good-quality loose tea. Loose tea needs a little longer to brew, but the flavor is superior.

Start with cold, fresh water. The flavor of the water affects tea more than coffee, so you may wish to use bottled or filtered water if your tap water is heavily flavored.

Prewarm the teapot by filling it with hot tap water; empty it just before adding the dry tea and boiling water.

Use two or three tea bags or two to three teaspoons of loose tea per pot, depending on the size of the pot and how strong you like your tea. Put the tea in the pot and add water.

Remove the kettle from the heat just as the water comes to a full rolling boil. Pour immediately over the tea.

Let the tea steep until it reaches the desired strength; remove tea bags before serving. Do not squeeze the tea bags into the pot; squeezing releases tannin, which can make the brew bitter.

Keep the tea warm with a British-style cozy (an insulated or quilted fabric cover) or improvise by covering the pot with one or two kitchen towels.
