I have always wanted to do a page on tea. In Australia (as well as several countries around the world) the preferred choice of a hot beverage has always been tea.

So please sit down with your cup of tea, relax and enjoy your travels here.  
 

The Perfect Cup of Tea

To brew a perfect cup of tea, follow these pointers:

Use a teapot that has been pre warmed with boiling water.
Measure one level teaspoon of tea for each person and one for the pot.
Pour the boiling water over tea, and let tea steep.
Cover your teapot with a tea cozy.
Let tea brew for three to five minutes, or to your preferred strength.
Stir tea and strain loose tea leaves.
Pour immediately.

Another way to have a perfect cup of tea.

Rinse out the tea kettle and start with fresh, cold tap water. Never boil anything but water in your tea kettle.
2. Bring the water to its first rolling boil. Never overboil! Overboiling takes the oxygen out of the water, which in turn creates a flat beverage.
3. Take the teapot to the tea kettle and rinse out the pot with the boiling water from the kettle. Never take the kettle to the teapot, as you lose one degree of heat per second. Water for tea must be 212 degrees.
4. Use one teabag or teaspoon of loose tea per cup. Leaves enter the warm teapot and the infusion begins when the leaf opens.
5. Pour hot water gently over the leaves. (Never bruise the leaves.)
6. Allow the tea to brew for three to five minutes, according to the blend of tea and how strong
