Small small small tips 小小小秘訣 - 泡一杯完美的茶 (Making the perfect cuppa)

泡一杯完美的茶 (Making the perfect cuppa)

1. Fill the kettle with fresh cold water to maximise the oxygen in the water. It's the oxygen that draws the flavour out of the tea.

2. Warm the pot or mug with hot water. This will ensure the tea stays hot for longer.

3. When making a pot, use one teaspoon of tea (or tea bag) for each person and one for the pot. When preparing infusions, use only one tea bag per person.

4. Pour water on to the tea as soon as it boils. Don't allow the water to over-boil. This leaves the tea tasting flat and dull.

5. Let the tea stand and brew for 3 to 5 minutes. Once brewed, stir and serve.

6. If you want a full-bodied blend, try Twinings Traditional Afternoon tea. This blend of African, Assam and Ceylon teas comes with a rich creamy finish when served with milk.
