How to Make a cup of tea with a classic teapot

Composed by Alix Bethbeze

Preparation & Equipment

Tea or Tisane (leaf or pyramid tea bag)
Teapot
Digital Kettle
Digital Scales
Timer / Watch
Serving Vessel
Spoon
Cup and Saucer

1. Temperature

Heat the kettle to the desired temperature and pre-heat all the vessels (pot and cup) then discard the water.
If you don't have a temperature-controlled kettle or thermometer, add a little cold water first before pouring over the boiling water.

We recommend 10% cold water for 90 degrees and 20% for 80 degrees.
Please Note: this is an approximate, and different teaware materials will affect the outcome.

2. Weigh

Weigh the appropriate amount of tea as recommended then add to the teapot.

3. Time

Pour the desired amount of pre-heated water over the leaves in a circular motion so they unfurl and release.
Steep the leaves for the recommended time.

Note: If the leaves become tightly confined in the pot, give them a little stir to ensure optimal surface area is achieved for extracting all the flavour compounds.

4. Serve

Once the desired infusion time has finished, separate the leaves from the tea liquor by removing the infuser basket or by straining into a serving vessel.
Pour into a cup and serve.
