The tea expert continued: “Add the boiled water and brew for at least three minutes – this develops the flavour as well as maximising the beneficial polyphenol compounds in tea. “Most black
teas should be brewed for three to four minutes, while Lapsang Souchong black tea tastes best after four to five minutes. Brew green tea for three to four minutes and oolong tea for three to
five minutes, depending on your strength preference.” Next, pour the brewed tea into a cup and add a splash of milk if desired. Or if using a tea bag directly in your mug, remove the bag
after brewing, before adding the milk.
