Brewing Instructions
Broken Orange Pekoe Fannings — the smallest grade we make. Fine particles mean a fast brew and a deep coppery pour.
Measure
1 tsp (2.5 g)
Water
200 ml
Heat
95–100 °C
Steep
2–3 min
- Second steep
- No — the leaf gives everything at once
- Leaf form
- Loose leaf
- Water
- Filtered; hard water dulls the colour
One thing worth knowing — Watch the clock. Past three minutes, fannings turn hard and bitter — this is the one tea on the list you can over-brew by accident.
