How to make a perfect cup of British decaf tea

Prepare an irresistible infusion 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 lessens the time to brew your tea and extracts the flavor better to your preference. More bitter tannin is dissolved in the water as you steep the tea longer. Using the microwave to heat the water is slower, making a more dangerous and inferior tea concoction.

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.
