“Saying that, my top tips for getting the most flavour out of your leaves include using freshly drawn water from the tap rather than re-boiling any water left in the kettle – also only use the water you need to save energy!
“I also recommend using boiling water for black tea and not almost boiling or water that boiled a minute ago. Green tea needs to be brewed at around 85C, otherwise it will taste quite astringent.
“Another tip is to give the teabag a little stir to allow the leaves to infuse properly, but don’t abuse the poor fellow; I brew for 2-3 minutes to allow the tea to infuse properly before adding milk.”
