There are two ways of making tea – you brew or you boil.
If you want to brew yourself a relaxing flavoursome cup of Tea (Traditional Tea Service Style) you must use Darjeeling Leaf Tea. Boil water, rinse a porcelain tea pot with hot water, add one spoon of tea per cup plus one for the pot, pour in the required amount of hot water, brew for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on the strength you want), strain and pour in the tea in a cup, add milk and sugar to taste, and relish your cuppa.
For this style of tea making, my favourite brand of Tea is Lipton Green Label. Of course, many tea estates sell their own brands of excellent Orange Pekoe (OP) leaf tea but then these may not be available in your town.
If you want a strong stimulating cup of tea you boil water and sugar together and then throw in the tea leaves (one spoon per cup) bring to a boil, cover for 3 to 5 minutes for proper infusion, then add tea to hot milk and rejuvenate yourself with the rich aromatic bright coloured cuppa (Some boil water and milk together with the sugar and leaves).
For this style of making Tea our favourite brand was Brooke Bond Red Label. However, a few years ago, I felt that the quality of this brand was no longer the same as before so I tried Brooke Bond Yellow Label and Taj Mahal. This too did not satisfy me, so I started experimenting around with various brands of tea available in the market and I narrowed down to two brands of Tea which I like.
I like Wagh Bakri Perfect Premium Leaf Tea – it gives you a strong invigorating cup of tea rich in taste and bright in colour and really perks you up.
Another brand I like is Tata Tea Gold, especially for its remarkable taste, which probably is due to the fact that this tea is a blend of strong CTC (Crush Tear Curl) and traditional leaf tea. This imparts a unique flavour which leaves a pleasant aftertaste for you to savour.
Do you like Tea?
