I have had two cups of Taylors of Harrogate's Tea Room Blend.
I brew it differently now.
They suggest one tea spoon, 4-5 minutes for a cuppa. How big is their cup? 150ml? 200? 250? 300?
No clue.

My cup is 330 ml, so I do the following: a heaped tea spoon (the tea looks like very small pellets, so one heaped tea spoon is a lot of tea), 1 minute 30 seconds, 0.8 of the cup.
It is the best flavour I could coax out of this tea with unfiltered office water.
I tried 1 heaped tea spoon 2/4/5 minutes; 1 level tea spoon 2/3/4/5 minutes.
I might try again 1 level tea spoon 1 and 5 minutes tomorrow or next week.

Finished my brunch. It was very generous today. Two white yogurts, 1 banana and 2 Sirius Musli Bars. I always have the same excluding banana

Off to town to grab lunch before I prepare the next lab for Cisco classes.
