The Thompson Guide to a Better Cup of Tea

Follow our tips below, and find out how to make the perfect cup of tea...

  • Use only freshly drawn water. 
    (re-boiling water takes the oxygen out and stops the tea from brewing properly).
  • Pre-heat the pot or mug.
  • Make sure the water is boiling when pouring onto the tea. "Off the boil" water doesn´t infuse tea properly.
  • Brew for at least a minute, and don´t be afraid to stir the tea. (a tea bag floating on top isn´t doing its job).
  • Sit back. Now, doesn´t that taste better!
