Water that is boiled allows the tanning to release more effectively. Hence tea made without boiling water thens to look whiter and even when colour is forced out with a spoon. Lacks the same flavour. Tanning is also why tea has a calming effect. Mached with caffeine. It places the mind in a good state for problem solving. Hence the UK reputation of turning to it for all problems. Well that and both tanning and caffeine are addictive. permalink fedilink source parent
