Make a perfect Brew

• Use a good quality loose leaf or bagged tea
• This must be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature
• Always use freshly drawn boiling water
• In order to draw the best flavour out of the tea the water must contain oxygen, this is reduced if the water is boiled more than once.
• Measure the tea carefully
• Use 1 tea bag or 1 rounded teaspoon of loose tea for each cup to be served
• Allow the tea to brew for the recommended time before pouring
• Brewing tea from a bag in a mug? Milk in last is best

Buying and Storing Tea

• Use a good quality Tea Supplier or brand
• Always taste your own teas because if you like the blend your customers are likely to
• Store tea in a cool, dry place
• Avoid placing it next to strongly flavoured or perfumed foods etc
• Do not over buy tea

In some parts of the country the tap water is chlorinated strongly and this can affect the taste of the tea, if you are based in such an area consider using a water filter.
