How to Easily Make the Perfect Cup of English Breakfast Tea

Close your eyes and think of tea and unless you’re of East Asian descent chances are your first thought will be a brew that looks like the photo above. Green tea may be the most popular type of tea in China Japan and Korea but in the West black tea is the clear winner. From the US to the UK to Russia to Turkey black tea isn’t just the most popular type of tea; it’s actually tea.

Unfortunately most of that tea isn’t very good: too bitter and tannic yet strangely bland. No wonder most Americans consider tea a low-octane alternative to coffee and it’s no surprise that most of us stir in loads of lemon milk or honey to make it taste like something.

That’s a shame because great black tea is a lot like the cross between two beverages that Westerners love: quality coffee and good red wine. Stimulating yet lush with hints of ripe fruit chocolate nuts and citrus soft and sweet yet loaded with tongue-tingling potency. Top-notch black tea is more than worthy of your attention.
