How to make English Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea?

Make the best brew by using an electric kettle to boil the water to pour over the loose-leaf tea in a cup or teapot. Boiling the water first from the kettle reduces the time to steep your tea and extracts the flavor better to your delight. More bitter tannin is dissolved in the water as you brew the tea longer. Using the microwave to heat the water is slower, making more dangerous and inferior tea infusions.

Brewing your loose leaf tea in a teapot brings better results than steeping tea from teabags. Loose tea is not ground as fine as the tea in tea bags and it has more room to circulate in the pot. The finer the tea is ground, the more bitter tannin is released. When making loose-leaf tea, use a tea strainer to prevent tea leaves poured into your cup.

A wonderful breakfast tea with full flavor notes and good body
