National Tea Day 2019<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s National Tea Day<\/a> on 21 April 2019. This quintessentially English drink is honoured annually at a Festea<\/strong>val, which this year is being held in Tobacco Docks, London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the UK\u2019s Tea and Infusers association, us Brits sip 165 million cups of tea per day. And with a staggering 1,500 varieties of the Camellia sinensis (tea plant), including black, oolong, green and white, there are thousands of ways to raise a cheer to tea on 21 April 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you brew?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Tea bag or leaves? Milk or lemon? Lightly dunked or heavily steeped? Here are our top tips to make the perfect cuppa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Use fresh boiled water<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Freshly boiled water (100\u00b0C) extracts all the flavour notes from the tea. Oxygen draws the best taste from tea, so water boiled only once will give your tea a better flavour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Allow the tea to brew<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Give your tea time to steep. The most commonly used teas in the UK need 3 to 4 minutes to release their flavours. Here\u2019s a table<\/a> with brewing times for different teas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Milk?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the definitive answer to the milk question. If you\u2019re using a tea bag, add the milk last. If you\u2019re using leaves and a tea pot, you can add the milk first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, have a quick check in the cupboard to make sure you\u2019ve got plenty of tea on hand, (if not, grab a box or two here<\/a>). Then join in the par-tea on 21 April 2019 by lifting your mug and saying cheers to tea*. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
