With the popularity of tea around the world its no wonder that so many people have come out with ways to make the best cup of tea. From making sure to warm your pot and stirring the leaves to making sure that it is piping hot. One expert in the area of tea making has come out to suggest that the same water not be boiled twice. His claims are that it takes out essential components to making the tea have the most flavor. That boiling it twice takes out the oxygen and nitrogen that is important for flavor and doing this will result in a very dull cup of tea.

Key Takeaways:

• While George Orwell wrote what many consider a definitive guide for tea preparation, one expert has another rule for tea.
• William Gorman insists the water for tea should have only been boiled once as boiling can reduce the oxygen and nitrogen which impact the flavor.
• Gorman recommends using the microwave as a way to reheat water for tea instead of boiling it again.
