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 if it came to how his brew was made. To him, a true tea lover must never add sugar into his tea.
Other than adding sugar he also dismissed some science behind tea making. Quite interestingly, his 11 formula was put into test by several scientists to dissect his golden rules on his 100th birth anniversary.
One noted scientist by the name of Dr. Andrew Stapley was a strong critic to Orwell's theory of the cuppa. He was specifically in doubt of the perfection of orwell's 6 spoons of tea per pot, noting that a single spoon is enough to create a great blend.
Dr Stapley additionally found out that adding cold milk actually distorts the taste of a hot tea because of the temperature affecting the compound make up of the milk. Instead, Dr. Stapley recommended chilling the cold milk first and later putting them on a cup before pouring a hot tea.
Science also did a good job of dismissing Orwell's claim that sugar ruined the tea, as a matter of fact it was the opposite, white sugar was proven to moderate the natural astringency of the tea, or simply 'makes it less bitter'.
The RSC determined the best leaves to use were Assam leaves from India, they had the best consistency and the nicest taste equated to all other leading types of leaf. Many experts also recommended brewing water and tea altogether for two minutes and not be heated again. Right after brewing, its best to pour the tea onto a ceramic tea pot. To further create a perfect blend with milk, you can pour in a hot tea slowly on to the cup containing milk.
