Black tea is UK's most popular tea. If prepared correctly, this special Chinese tea gives unique red color to please your eyes and signature smoky flavor to warm your heart.
Make sure you stick to the following steps for a tasty cup of black tea.
Start with boiling water. Your black tea is 100% oxidized. The boiling water helps extract the deepest flavor of your tea out.
Choose the correct amount of tea. For a teapot of 500 ml, 2 tea spoons or 5 grams of loose tea leaves are the best.
Choose the right brewing vessel. A Yixing Purple Clay teapot help stresses the fragrance of your tea. A Jingdezhen porcelain teapot or a glass teapot is best for enjoying the pleasant color. The three are all great for brewing your black tea.
Allow your tea to steep for about 3 to 5 minutes. Fewer or more will lead to a bitter taste of your tea.
Let your tea cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
