Some of the less fermented and/or oxidised teas such as the white teas are best made with slightly cooler water. | |||

"Ahh but being a pedant about these things there is an international standard (ISO) but apparently it has not been ratified into a British standard as there is no BS ISO or BS EN ISO. I also had a look and there doesn't seem to be any organisations accredited (at least by UKAS) to make tea to ISO 3103 in the UK. So sorry it seems that at best your going to get unaccredited standardly made tea in the UK. " It's actually BS6004 if memory serves me correctly | |||

"OK BS 6008:1980, ISO 3103-1980 not sure why searching on BSIs website fauled to locate it under 3103 cross referencing normally works better on there. Unfortunately it is outside my companies subscription with BSI and the £52 members price is way too steep as otherwise I would get a copy for someone who is really tea obsessed in my office. " It’s on Wikipedia it outlines the basics of it I would like to get it in full to read tho one day | |||
