Funny how I was just thinking about this when I was watching your other videos, so I searched to see if you had a video on tea, and HERE IT IS! Thanks for posting, and a well done video! I'll have to go try that Twinings English Breakfast tea.
And to all the viewers, if you're not drinking a cup of tea while watching this video, you are WRONG!
I was in the UK this past summer and was very impressed with the way in which tea is served even in relatively casual establishments. It's almost always brought out in a pot with the water still boiling hot, unlike here the US where often you get a tea bag on top of a cup of slightly warm water. What are your thoughts on the amount and type of sugar and cream to use?
Reminds me of one time when my uncle had a couple of friends from the UK over (we live in Sweden) and was asked where he kept his teawater boiler. He told them he didn't have one and recommended they use the saucepan to heat their teawater. I wish I had a picture or movie clip of his British friends' faces at that moment :)
i make tea by getting a mug then putting a teabag in boiling a kettle and pouring the water in, then string and then adding milk and sugar to your taste. Your way seems a lot more complex.
very lovely, grandpa, though I thought the video would end with the scene that you sat down at a comfortable couch sipping the tea. That'd look very cozy :D
I just wanted to say thank you... I already know how to make a cup of tea, but I use teabags as many do now days and watching you make that tea and the little flecks of tea leaves left over the work surface just made me smile so much because it reminded me of my nan. I was really close to her and although I think of her often, little things pop up in life sometimes that just make you feel warm inside because it beings memories flooding back. So thank you ever so much for posting this.
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate tea a lot more now than I did when I was younger. I had the opportunity to go to India in 1999 and see a tea plantation there and see how labor intensive it can be so I can enjoy a good cup of tea here in the states.
I like tea, but it sure doesn't seem to like me. Every time I've had a cuppa, I've ralphed it up about ten minutes later. Yet I can drink rotgut coffee with no ill effects - ???????????? It must be the tannin.
very proper, and the right way..but just for other nations information I'd like to give 2 other recipes.
common tea- (tea made at home quickly) 1 pot, 1 tea bag per person, brew for 2-3 min. pour a little milk milk in the bottom of a cup, add sugar to taste. pour tea from pot..done
builders tea- boil water, 1 tea bag straight into cup/mug, add water and stur, add sugar to taste. then add milk ( always add milk last ) trust me it can cause problems if you add it first..
Your china is in perfect condition! Do you handwash them? Also, I've had the wonderful experience of having tea at the Ritz Carlton Hotel once. It was for a friend's birthday party, and I'll never forget the experience! I'm not sure if I'll ever feel that rich again!
I remember my Nan teaching me how to make a cup of tea the same way and also about being etiquette which I know now was a good thing as it allowed/ helped me to learn on how to be well mannered and polite.
I have to agree that the fish and chips in whitby are very nice,,,,,but try Drakes fish and chip shop and tea room in Knaresborough and you'll never eat in whitby again.....HEAVEN!
I love your pots, Peter. The one at the back was especially lovely. I am not very fond of squared off handles, though - they seem to be very uncomfortable to hold by when the pot is full. The handle of the beautifully shaped cup is smart, as there is a large enough area to get a good grip, even though your finger doesn't fit through it.
Is it so that the british always add the milk before the tea?
This brings back happy memories of living in my mother-in-laws house in England. This is how she taught me to make it. She added a spoon of sugar and a splash of milk to the bottom of the cup before pouring the tea. She used to give her dog tea in his dish. He would slurp down the tea to reach the sugar.

This video was lovely, and it was great hearing those stories- tea is such a comforting drink that's always there so it reminds me of so many nice moments. Nothing beats a nice cup of tea.
As an English person I find this video very interesting! I love cups of tea, but I tend to boil the kettle and pour it into a mug! I didn't know that tea making could be such an art! Lovely video Peter :)
Thank you for teaching us about your culture. I love tea. Being an Asian American, I've grown up drinking tea but I've never tried making it this way. I will be trying it soon! Thanks!
Here in Ohio there are several tea houses of varying types and museums that host monthly tea socials. There are stores where you can buy tea leaves in bulk (Teavana). In Texas they have tea rooms (a room set aside within another business, usually a antique store). I am a tea drinker from childhood and have several different pots and cups. I am after a blue Spode teacup to round off my collection. My husband said he drove by a store in Tennessee that sells Spode, I really need to go there!
I've decided to switch from drinking coffee to drinking tea recently... it's just much healthier... especially green tea. I heard too much black tea can give you kidney stones. :)
@jeaniebaby001 To be honest I think the kidney stones thing is bullshit. Its like in the 70s when the "shientists" told the swedish people it was healty to eat 7-8 slices of bread every day. Stay away from to much fat and you dont get any kidney stones.
Your aunt's "How To And Style" advice would not have been lost on me back in the days, because I once actually overdid it with the pre-warming of my teapot: While the water was heating up at the stove, I was placing the teapot on the teapot warmer and lit the candle underneath it already. Five minutes later or so, when I poured in the (indeed) boiling water, the pot was so not warmed but heated up, that with a nasty "Crack!!", it burst at the bottom when the water hit. Result: One new teapot :-)
I'm just a lowly American but I agree, you need the extra spoonful for the pot. I however tend to like my tea stronger. Twinings, Earl Grey, as I mentioned this morning. :) I use tea balls though, rather than a strainer. I'm all stuck up like that. :)
Peter, I thought the rule was one spoonful of tea for each person and one for the pot, probably too strong for a small pot like yours, but I think it should apply to a large pot. It was probably Earl Grey tea at the Ritz, the favourite tipple of Katers17. I would definitely advise the use of a tea strainer. You remind me of an old bloke in a factory where I worked. He would not use the plastic canteen cups, and brought in every day a fine bone china cup and saucer and a silver spoon.
Peter you forgot an extra teaspoon for the pot, lol. A really great video about something that is quintessentially British, the great cup of tea. Reminds me of my childhood and family breakfast where we would have loose tea in a pot. I do it now and again today and get out my best china teacups and saucers. A great choice of tea by the way. I do like the Twinings English Breakfast tea. When making tea with teabags are you a water in first or milk first?

What a great little snippet. It seems to be quite a production to come up with the proper English tea. Here in America we seem to be too lazy and use those ugly little bags. No wonder, I never really got to like tea. I remember when I was a young teenager, every Sunday my parents took me over to grandpa's house where we were served "Mocha" in the Grand hall. I was not allowed to drink this hallowed nectar but was only permitted to eat a "fish", a sugar cube dunked into this heavenly drink.
You know, I don't even drink tea (nor coffee, for that matter), but this was a delightful video. I feel as though I've just come 'round for afternoon tea with an old friend! How nice, Peter! Thank you. :)
Now the one thing that this didn't address, which is a long standing debate between myself and my wife, among other people, is whether the milk precedes the tea or vice-versa. I tend to prefer pouring the tea into milk, since it appears to offer better dispersion, however I am told that this is not the proper practice, since it can lead to the milk curdling (which has never happened to myself). Do you have any insight into this?
i love you sir,and i love the way you talk in your videos,i never had the privilege to talk to my grandfathers,they both passed when i was younger,and now that i am older ,i would enjoy some talk with them.anyway i love the way you explain things in your videos,and i enjoyed so much this video,in part because i'm a fan of the twining's(breakfast)tea,and in part because i saw that i do prepare the tea like a british man.thank you again,and keep doing great videos! Best regards,Andrew from italy.
@gorikuri good for you, you've been to london. about 0.01% of what's actually in England. Go to somewhere else, like Warwick, or Winchester, or even Colchester or Durham! Just somewhere with a lot of history and English culture that isn't bloody London!
@upturnedkangaroo I also went to Bath and Stone Henge. So Yeah I did go to some other places. I would have liked to go further north BUT,... I didn't have that much time available to me.
Absolutely charming! This American was smiling all through your wonderful tutorial. Thanks so much for this video! I think I'll unpack my grandmother's china and have a go at brewing some real tea :-)
Lovely video. I sometimes struggle to find a really nice cup of English tea here in Hong Kong. The Chinese tea, of course, is excellent. But, with or without milk, it's hard to find a properly brewed cup of English tea outside of some rather expensive hotels
Peter, I had high tea at the Dorchester, and it was delightful. Same for the Ritz Carltonm but I'd prefer a cup of well-made tea and piece of nice toast, than all that ceremony. Call me gauche. :-)
I normally have a cup of tea in the morning, coffee in the afternoon, and another cup of tea before bedtime. All with milk and two teaspoons of sugar :P
You'll be proud to hear us teenagers are deffinatly not all riots and hoodies, as I and a few friends have bought a tea pot to keep in our locker, and mugs, coasters, and many types of tea. It's strange to see six 17yr olds sitting in a crouded 6th form room with a tea pot but it's a laugh. I really think you should have another go at writing a short book, maybe even one about teenagers to suit your rcent videos for that german magazine you did about problems faced growing up!

thank you for this video, it's very useful for an italian girl like me :-) and I would also thank you because my english is improving because of your videos! thank you very much :-) keep it up!!!! I wish you the best!
Do you approve of dunking Rich Tea biscuits in the drink? But seriously, nice cup o' tea, yeah, that sounds like something I could get back into. I went through a phase. Not just English Tea though, I used to like to try a few of the Twinnings.
Can't say my taste is particular enough to worry about whether it's in a bag or not though. Probably better value for money though and less wasteful. So if you think that's the best I might give it a go.
But why didn't you drink the lovely cup of tea??!

'how can you call yourself a true tea-lover if you destroy
the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it? It would be equally
reasonable to put in pepper or salt. Tea is meant to be bitter,
just as beer is meant to be bitter. If you sweeten it, you are no longer
tasting the tea, you are merely tasting the sugar; you could make a very
similar drink by dissolving sugar in plain hot water. '

Dear lord, you forgot to stir the pot. I'll over look that as you did a fine job all the same :)

I normally have a cup of tea in the morning, coffee in the afternoon, and another cup of tea before bedtime. All with milk and two teaspoons of sugar :P

You'll be proud to hear us teenagers are deffinatly not all riots and hoodies, as I and a few friends have bought a tea pot to keep in our locker, and mugs, coasters, and many types of tea. It's strange to see six 17yr olds sitting in a crouded 6th form room with a tea pot but it's a laugh. I really think you should have another go at writing a short book, maybe even one about teenagers to suit your rcent videos for that german magazine you did about problems faced growing up!

I have never had a cup of coffee in my life, it's tea all the way for me!
A steaming hot mug of tea really hits the spot every day!
The best cup of tea I ever had was also my first, made for me by my auntie in a fine bone china cup and infused with love.

35-40 POUNDS? That's like $80 for a cup of tea! I would say that was a bit pricey!! (But it's the "Ritz", so what would you expect, right).

@geriatric1927 Have you been to the Dorchester? It's like £150 for lunch for two people. The teas were amazing though! And the little sandwiches!

Do you approve of dunking Rich Tea biscuits in the drink? But seriously, nice cup o' tea, yeah, that sounds like something I could get back into. I went through a phase. Not just English Tea though, I used to like to try a few of the Twinnings.
Can't say my taste is particular enough to worry about whether it's in a bag or not though. Probably better value for money though and less wasteful. So if you think that's the best I might give it a go.

I have always wondered is there some special way that english tea is made. Thank you for showing that, I do love tea so very much :)
