At first, I thought the ISO procedure was a joke.  After looking at it, it
looks pretty legitimate.  Are the British really that serious about their
tea?  Or are they just that bureaucratic?

Here's a ISO procedure for Tea brewing. I know all of us
engineering types really appreciate this:

Tea making? Even worse q than the salty ones.
Tea have following taste and aroma contents, and when you see that,
you understand that Brian's q is probably impossible to answer in
a acceptable way:

vanilla, E,E-2,4 decadienal, b-damscenone, (E,Z)-2,4-decadienal, geraniol,
methyl salicylate, 2,4-nonadienal, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, 2-phenylethanol,
linalool, (ZZ-3,6-nonadienal, phenylacetaldehyde, benzy alcohol, octanol,
1-octen-3-ol, 1octen-3-one, benzaldehyde, heptanal, (Z)-4-heptenal,
hexanol, 2-methyl-propanol, hexanal, 1-penten-3-one, 1-pentanol, 2-methyl
Butanal, 3-methyl Butanal.

These were only the volatile ingredients in black Earl Grey (which is my
favorite). Bergamotte oil is used to give it's special flavour.

So, to the above comes many, many more....


I have to think of the english way of making tea, own experience and
intuition:


<1 minute: only few of the complex substances have been dissolved in the
water and you can't name it tea at all.

3 minutes: the temperature is already decreasing in the pot (if you don't
use old english cover)and most of the aromatic stuff has gone into the tea
as well as those few which give taste (which is more fragrance than taste).
You are close to the climax...so as to say. If you know the exact boiling
temperature for the above hydrocarbons, you may hit your own favorite
maximum with a timer in your hand.

5 minutes: some bitter complex begins to leak out which may camoflage the
delicious fragrancies. If you are not a fine taster of tea, you may not
notice this, and some rough and uncivilized persons may even prefer the
bittering..

>10 minutes: the tea is dead...on the stone you can read 'amateur cooking
ended my life'. Temperature is too low, so when you fill your teacup, the
cup will steal too much heat and make the teatime shorter. Furthermore I
guess that all nice flavours have gone and the oxidized and bitter stuff is
the only that remains.

Will be interesting to see the final and scientific answer....

Ingemar

What do you mean by strong? Flavour or caffeine?

Turkish coffee (term forbidden here, it's Cyprus coffee) is strong in
both. Made properly, very finely ground coffee, almost like flour, so
with a large surface area per gram, is brought to the boil three times,
so practically all the solubles are extracted.

Italian coffee: the ristretto and espresso are strong in flavour but low
in caffeine, as the brewing process is too rapid for all the caffeine to
be extracted. This is possibly the "healthiest" coffee and is
recommended for those who pretend that if they have a coffee after 15h00
they cannot sleep.

American coffee is browned-off water. After two ristretti, I can piss
stronger than American coffee. But be warned, although it's low in
flavour and colour, it is very high in caffeine partly because of the
Colombian beans and partly because of the long brewing method.

Now, a question about tea (and I mean real tea, not the floor-sweeping
dust wrapped in a surgical bandage that so often passes for tea these
days). The time-honoured way of making tea is to pre-warm the teapot,
add the appropriate quantity of tea leaves, pour in boiling water, put
the lid on, leave it to "mash" for n minutes then pour. Now n is a
variable depending on the nature of the tea leaves. But, for average
commercially blended black tip leaves, should n be about <1, 3, 5, >10
minutes? What is the physiological and gustatory (nice word!) influence
of each time, remembering that tea is also a major source of caffeine?

be strong, but there is still a lot of water in it. The opposition is
american (US) coffee, which is just slightly colored. I would rather call
it agua sepia than coffee.
