How to Make Tea | Brian Keating, Kim Long

Litten friends who are tea drinkers! I would love some tips on how to make a GOOD cup of tea. Particularly on the stronger side, best sweeteners to use, loose leaf or tea bags..... friends from across the pond, please chime in! Thank you 😊😊

LazyDays In my humble opinion, Loose leaf makes nice strong tea. And normally where you buy if from will let you know how long to brew. English and Irish breakfast teas are really strong. 6y

LazyDays https://www.jamieoliver.com/news-and-features/features/how-to-make-the-perfect-c... This is kinda how I make my tea. 6y

CouronneDhiver Loose leaf teas are great, but I have a soft spot for my regular ol‘ Tetley Orange Pekoe. I don‘t put anything in it. Just brew and go. 6y

CBee Thanks @LazyDays and @CouronneDhiver 😁😁😁 6y

Craftylikefox I enjoy loose leaf and tea bags, it all depends on how hot the water is and how long you let it steep. I love honey as a sweetener but often drink without anything added. I love Harvey and Sons tea. They come in loose leaf or in the triangle bags. My favorite is the English breakfast and their earl grey. 6y

CBee @Craftylikefox thank you 😊 6y

Louise Whole Foods sells a very nice organic loose leaf Earl Grey in their bulk section. Also, Numi brand aged Earl Grey is delicious! London Gold is also good. I like to add milk or cream to my cup first and pour the steeped tea over it. I generally steep Earl Grey for about 6 min. Tea tastes best in a porcelain or fine china cup. Glass would be a second choice. To measure how much loose leaf: 1 tsp per person + 1 tsp for the pot. (edited) 6y

CBee @Louise thank you 😊 6y

Louise @CBee We can both thank my English mother! 😉 6y

CBee @Louise do you use the Numi tea bags? Or always loose leaf? 6y

Louise @CBee I use the Numi tea bags. Their aged Earl Grey is wonderful! They have other good teas too. If I‘m making a pot of tea, sometimes I add an extra bag or two. But one bag makes a lovely tea for one! (edited) 6y

CBee @Louise thank you! I‘m definitely going to try it! 6y

Louise Enjoy! 6y

1. Loose leaf ftw
2. Caffeinated (I think) - Asian brands really don‘t differentiate 😂
3. Jasmine green tea, chrysanthemum green tea, and rose black tea. Oh and Matcha!
4. Anything with cinnamon. My tongue does not understand cinnamon in tea 😢
