Instructions, how to prepare Darjeeling tea

1. I suggest you only buy tea, which carrying the logo of Darjeeling - which is owned by the Board of the India tea and certifies that 100 per cent of natural Darjeeling tea and not a mixture. The logo shows a profile view of a man holding a sheet with the words printed "Darjeeling" tea.

2. Boil clean, filtered water in a tea Kettle or pot for approximately one minute continuously. Measure the tea leaves, while the water starts to boil.

3. Use approximately 1 teaspoon of tea leaves per cup. You can use  tea infusers, or simply place the leaves in the cup, and pour when it is brewed.

4. Pour boiling water on the tea leaves, and let it stand for two to five minutes. In two minutes, the tea will completely develop for the extraction of flavor and caffeine. After two minutes, the leaves begin to produce tannin, which gives the tea a stronger flavour, although it has calming intended effects (medical) on digestion. Experiment with different processing until you reach a flavor that suits you.

5. Once the tea is ready, drink the Darjeeling as it is, or you may also add milk, lemon essence, sugar sweetener, or honey.
