Having A Cup Of Green Tea

George Orwell, an icon in literature and a famous tea brewer, once said that there are 11 golden rules to perfect tea creations. To him, a true tea lover must never add sugar into his tea.

Other than adding sugar he also dismissed some science behind tea making. Interestingly enough, his 11 formula to tea creation was put to test by several scientist on the 100th anniversary of his birth.

Scientist Dr Andrew Stapley of the University of Loughborough dismissed Orwell’s theory of the cuppa and set about writing new rules for the perfect brew. His first disparagement was that of Orwell’s questionable six spoons of tea in one pot, even during post-war rationing, this was far too strong; Stapley determined that no more than a single spoon of leaves be used.

Dr. Stapley also noted that adding cold milk onto hot tea actually takes out the freshness of the milk thus ruining the taste. Dr. Stapley suggested that cold milk must be chilled first before a tea is added onto it.

On the other hand, scientists successfully dismissed Orwell’s claim that sugar distorts tea taste citing that sugar actually makes tea a lit better in taste.

The RSC determined the best leaves to use were Assam leaves from India, they had the best consistency and the nicest taste compared to all other leading types of leaf. To compromise between the heat of the drink and the brewing process, the tea and water should be left to brew in the pot for two minutes and NEVER re-heated. After brewing, the tea should be poured from a ceramic tea pot into a tall mug shaped ceramic cup. If you want to go the extra mile pour the tea over a small teaspoon just above the surface of the milk to avoid it splashing and changing the taste of the milk with heat.
