Do you put the milk in first? Or splash it in after the tea has steeped? This comes down to personal choice, of course, but the milk-in-first approach refers to the early days of tea-drinking. Lower quality china would sometimes crack when the hot water was poured onto the tea leaves. Adding the milk first, resolved the issue. All modern day teaware is made to cope with boiling water which means it is no longer necessary to add the milk first.
When using tea bags, let the tea fully infuse the water first before adding your milk. Milk goes well with the stronger black teas — but we would suggest avoid adding it to green, herbal and fruit teas! Well, we are certainly not going to insist on this as it really does come down to personal preference! But for the new tea aficionados amongst you we would recommend:. Whether you prefer loose leaf tea or tea bags, using an airtight container or tea caddy helps to keep your tea dry, fresh and also stops any strongly scented teas from passing their flavour onto more delicate varieties in your cupboard.
If you are using loose tea leaves instead of a teabag, make sure to use a good quality strainer. We recommend an open top strainer you place into the cup. This way the tea leaves have a lot of freedom to move around in the cup, if you use a small strainer ball the tea doesn't have a lot of room to infuse. Another a good tip for loose tea is, don't use so much. Many people pack their strainers full because they feel that the more tea they have, the more intense the flavour will be. As we said, that is not the case; tea needs movement and freedom and even a pinch of loose tea will give you that fantastic flavour you deserve.

Using more teabags does not make tea bitter. Steeping teabags in too long or using water that is too hot makes the tea bitter. Also, if you use loose leaf tea, it is suggested to use a teapot with filter. Ecooe offers many kinds of glass teapot with filter built-in.

Leaving it for one minute is going to give you a weaker tea, but you can then reuse the teabag a second time to get an equally weak second cup. If you leave the teabag to steep for 5 minutes, it's going to be a strong tea and provide you with as much flavor as it's capable.
Diluting brewed tea with unbrewed hot water to get it to a weaker state somehow just doesn't work. I'm not sure what the reason is, but it doesn't taste very good. I know these things can get a bit confusing sometimes, especially when you've got 5 tea boxes and each of them gives you different directions. As such, I think trial an error is the key. Start from the baseline, and figure out how you want your tea, according to your tastes.
For example I know I prefer my tea made from teabags on the stronger side, so I sometimes leave them for 5 whole minutes. If you want to know more about coffee or tea, feel free to check the related articles below. Who knows what else you might find? Table of Contents.
