GM Beave. Enjoy your tea. Britain kinda broke me in this regard so I prefer not to have a opinion on this one. If you’d told me 10 years ago that I’d be mixing milk with Yorkshire Tea, I would have certainly objected... But here I am. I don’t think you can go wrong with black tea. Well, not unless:

Depends on the cut and brewing style. CTC in an infuser you would use about 1 to 1.5 gram. Since it brews faster and is only going to be good for 1 cup. If you have uncut tea and are brewing grampa style in that cup you would use 2-3 grams. Rinse it once. And you need more since uncut leaves should be steeped multiple times.

I would use two teaspoons of loose tea and #GM Fren 🌞 have an amazing day today

I'm mostly brewing Yorkshire these days on recommendation from a British acquaintance, funnily enough. How did it break you? I'm not usually a fan of milk in my tea, in general, unless it is bubble or Thai.

I'm mostly brewing Yorkshire tea these days, so, cut. I've been boiling the water and pouring it over the tea in the diffuser (the style that sits over the rim of the mug, not one of the smaller balls) and steeping for 4-4.5 minutes. I'll need to figure out where my kitchen scale is. I'm using approximately a half teaspoon of tea at this point. Thank you.

Two teaspoons? Wow. That's quite a lot. 😅

I love tea and I know the flavor is delicious and I say love life and enjoy every moment of it Fren

Excellent!

GM!

GM, I use smaller cup. I estimate it's 300 ml, half of the yours. I'd say teaspoon with slight heap. I might be a caffeine addict though.

Prob light brew: just under 3 teaspoons

3 teaspoons for 750mL of tea? I am at one and it is pretty strong. Wow!

Interesting! Thank you for your feedback.

Also depends on the kind and (most important) the steep time

No worries, thank you! Interesting his childhood might have shaped my taste of tea. I like Darjeeling, Yunnan - black. And that's because of my mum. Yunnan was her favourite one. This one is of very similar taste I remember from childhood.

I am a filthy casual with tea. I don't drink too many caffeinated varieties as I am caffeine sensitive and have a hard limit on when I can drink it and still sleep well. It is good that you have such a deep connection to the types of tea that you drink. I love hearing about things like that. Again, thank you for sharing. 💚

I’m being a bit capricious here :). But well, having good tea everywhere commoditised the experience for me a bit. It went from experimenting with all sorts of flavours and infusion methods to blindly grabbing whatever box of Yorkshire Tea, PG Tips, etc I csn find, boiling water in a kettle, and maybe adding a dash of milk. You know me: I have to be a bit of a contrarian. Back in Brazil I had a tea habit, but in the UK it turned into more of a coffee habit :). And so say something positive about the UK, I can buy better Brazilian beans here in the UK than back in Brazil 🤣.
