How to Pour Tea in English: A Step-by-Step Guide

First, heat the water to the appropriate temperature for the tea you are serving.

Place the tea leaves in a teapot or infuser.

Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and let steep for the recommended time.

Once the tea is steeped, hold the teapot handle with your right hand and the lid with your left hand.

Pour the tea into the teacup, using your right hand to steady the teapot and your left hand to hold the lid in place.

Fill each teacup about three-quarters full.

If serving milk or sugar, offer it on the side.

Serve the tea with a small plate of biscuits or other treats, if desired.

Enjoy your tea!
