400ml is perfect for 5g of loose leaf tea. If you're using a tea bag, 300ml is bang on. Brewing this one is all about finding just how you like it. Try brewing for 3-4 minutes black, or 4-5 minutes with milk.

Brewing Tip

Your tea will start tasting bitter if it’s left to brew for too long so if you fancy a stronger cup, add some more tea leaves.

    This uber 100 box of lovely delicate Darjeeling is well worth the investment if you're a regular drinker. You honestly cannot differentiate between these pyramid tea bags and Brew's loose leaf iteration. They're my go to bags every single day. Makes more sense than buying the loose leaves every week. I can't fault them - honeyed, floral, peachy tones that never let you down!! The best quality tea brand out there nowadays IMHO. Had them at a cafe tuk tuk in Leicester railway station 5 years ago and never looked back.

    The best tea

    Once you have tried this tea you will not go back to a standard tea bag.

    So refreshing and tastes as tea should

    Coffee lost. Loose leaf won.

    I was always a coffee drinker and never liked tea bags with the tiny bits of tea inside. After switching to loose leaf tea from this site a couple of years ago, I would never go back. Brewing it properly has become part of the enjoyment, and the difference in taste is huge. The long, whole leaves give a much fresher, cleaner and more flavourful cup. I even drink it without milk now. Excellent tea and consistently great quality.
