Master the Five Golden Rules of Tea Brewing
Before diving into individual tea types, learn the universal principles that govern every perfect cup — water quality, temperature, ratio, time, and vessel. These five rules apply whether you're brewing a first-flush Darjeeling or a robust Ilam black.
Tools of the Trade
Brewing Equipment
Temperature-Control Kettle
Precise temperature control is the single biggest upgrade you can make to your brewing. Set the exact temperature for each tea type and never over-heat delicate leaves again.
Tea Timer
Consistent steep times transform good tea into exceptional tea. Even a 30-second difference can shift a cup from bright and lively to bitter and flat.
Fine Mesh Infuser
A fine stainless steel infuser gives leaves room to unfurl and release their full flavour while keeping your cup clear. Avoid infusers that restrict leaf movement.
