It\u2019s\u00a0National Tea Day<\/a>\u00a0on 21 April 2021. This quintessentially English drink is honoured annually at a Festea<\/strong>val, in London however, due to Covid-19 we cannot celebrate this fantastic day as before. Nonetheless, we can still celebrate by making ourselves the perfect cup of tea.<\/p>

According to the UK\u2019s Tea and Infusers association, us Brits sip 165 million cups of tea per day. And with a staggering 1,500 varieties of the Camellia sinensis (tea plant), including black, oolong, green and white, there are thousands of ways to raise a cheer to tea on 21 April 2021.<\/p>

How do you brew?<\/h4>

Tea bag or leaves? Milk or lemon? Lightly dunked or heavily steeped? Here are our top tips to make the perfect cuppa.<\/p>

1. Use fresh boiled water<\/h4>

Freshly boiled water (100\u00b0C) extracts all the flavour notes from the tea. Oxygen draws the best taste from tea, so water boiled only once will give your tea a better flavour.<\/p>

2. Allow the tea to brew<\/h4>

Give your tea time to steep. The most commonly used teas in the UK need 3 to 4 minutes to release their flavours. Here\u2019s a\u00a0table<\/a>\u00a0with brewing times for different teas.<\/p>

3. Milk?<\/h4>

Finally, the definitive answer to the milk question. If you\u2019re using a tea bag, add the milk last. If you\u2019re using leaves and a tea pot, you can add the milk first.<\/p>

So, have a quick check in the cupboard to make sure you\u2019ve got plenty of tea on hand, (if not, grab a box or two\u00a0o<\/a>n your next shop). Then join in the par-tea on 21 April 2021 by lifting your mug and saying cheers to tea*.<\/p>

*Other hot beverages are available.<\/p>
