ISO 3103 is a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (commonly referred to as ISO), specifying a standardized method for brewing tea, possibly sampled by the standardized methods described in ISO 1839 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3103)[1]. It was originally laid down in 1980 as BS 6008:1980 by the British Standards Institution.[2] It was produced by ISO Technical Committee 34 (Food products), Sub-Committee 8 (Tea).
The abstract states the following:
The method consists in extracting of soluble substances in dried tea leaf, containing in a porcelain or earthenware pot, by means of freshly boiling water, pouring of the liquor into a white porcelain or earthenware bowl, examination of the organoleptic properties of the infused leaf, and of the liquor with or without milk, or both.
This standard is not meant to define the proper method for brewing tea, but rather how to document the tea brewing procedure so sensory comparisons can be made. An example of such a test would be a taste-test to establish which blend of teas to choose for a particular brand or basic label in order to maintain a consistent tasting brewed drink from harvest to harvest.
A revised standard is currently under development as ISO/NP 3103.[3]
The work was the winner of the parodic Ig Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999.[4][5]
To maintain consistent results, the following are recommendations given by the standard:
The pot should be white porcelain or glazed earthenware and have a partly serrated edge. It should have a lid that fits loosely inside the pot.
If a large pot is used, it should hold a maximum of 310 ml (±8 ml) and must weigh 200 g (±10 g).
If a small pot is used, it should hold a maximum of 150 ml (±4 ml) and must weigh 118 g (±10 g).
2 grams of tea (measured to ±2% accuracy) per 100 ml boiling water is placed into the pot.
Freshly boiling water is poured into the pot to within 4–6 mm of the brim. Allow 20 seconds for water to cool.
The water should be similar to the drinking water where the tea will be consumed.
Brewing time is six minutes.
The brewed tea is then poured into a white porcelain or glazed earthenware bowl.
If a large bowl is used, it must have a capacity of 380 ml and weigh 200 g (±20 g).
If a small bowl is used, it must have a capacity of 200 ml and weigh 105 g (±20 g).
If the test involves milk, then it is added before pouring the infused tea unless that is contrary to the organisation's normal practice.
If milk is added after the pouring of tea, it is best added when the liquid is between 65-80°C.
5 ml of milk for the large bowl, or 2.5 ml for the small bowl, is used.
beep boop your autismal robot tea is readyvisitors can't see pics , please register or login
Coffee is better, and anyone who puts shit in their tea or coffee deserves neither
A maximum amount of two spoons of sugar is allowed, any more than that and you are ruining the tea and I will personally come to your house, castrate you, cauterise the wound, cut off each and every limb of your body whilst cauterising it, making sure you are well fed and have drunk fluids, after which i will place you slowly, 1 inch every 5 minutes into an acid pit, where you will boil to death slowly and painfully. DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND YOU PIECES OF SHIT

According to Yeldur, two spoons = 1 sugar cube. Must be the imperial metric system messing with his head.sugar cubes are for bundle of stickss therefore you're only allowed 1, shut your bundle of sticks mouth bitch you're not british like i am so fuck YOU

Disgusting cunts

Yeah I would for sure like nothing better than to have my sugar be like sand, seep through my fingers when I pick it up, because it has stone age ergonomic design, not be able to see if it got wet and have all kinds of impurities fall into it and not be able to tell that either, because it's fucking powder. Real useful.
I bet you also eat chocolate in powder, make steak out of powder, break fruit into powder and powder your nose.

used to have a regular come in every day at ~5:30PM and get an extra large decaf, SIX CREAM, EIGHT SUGAR.
Ikarus told me that he put 3 spoonful of sugars to his tea,yeldur do you want his adress?
Any teabag filled with the type of tea you like, put in cup of water, microwave 3.5 minutes, let steep for 5 minutes. Enjoy. The rest is all tea snobbery and pretentious manure.
Please tell me I'm reading this wrong. You put the teabag in the microwave? You don't just heat the water then steep it after?
