According to George Orwell there are 11 great rules for making the perfect tea, despite a strong critic of Hitler and Stalin he was known to be quite the authoritarian when it came to how his brew was made. He made it clear that someone shunned the sugar bowl they could not call them self a tea lover.
Other than adding sugar he also dismissed some science behind tea making. So, ironically, on the 100th anniversary of his birth, the Royal Society of Chemistry decided analyse and scrutinise his 11 point formula, intent on discounting his golden rules.
Orwell’s theory of the cuppa was challenged by one noted scientist of the University of Loughborough, Dr. Andrew Stapley. Dr. Stapley proposed that instead of Orwell’s ratio of 6 spoons per pot, a perfect blend can be created even with a single spoonful of tea leaves for a pot.
He also pointed out that adding cold milk ruins the overall taste of the tea as its hotness actually affects the protein content of the milk. Dr. Stapley suggested that cold milk must be chilled first before a tea is added onto it.
Scientists also challenged Orwell theory on sugar causing a less perfect tea blend by claiming that sugar actually enhances the over all flavor of the tea.
Generally, people prefer India’s Assam leaves over other tea leaves mainly because of its consistent taste and flavor. To create a perfect tea blend, many experts suggested not re-heating the tea after it was heated fro 2 minutes. After brewing, the tea should be poured from a ceramic tea pot into a tall mug shaped ceramic cup. To mix it up with milk, simply pour it slowly to avoid affecting the protein make up of the milk.
