This is a 10 minute video, oriented towards housewives (?) that quickly showcases a few tips on making good tea in the English style.

The description calls the method of making large amounts “grotesque”, but I don’t see what’s wrong with it. Different health standards, though, as they reuse the bags.
It has an old-time charm to it, and the tips are all solid and valid. Naturally, they’re working with Indian made “black” tea, which stands up to their production method most readily.

I have known this video for some years. Quite a style. The need for educating a broader public to make better tea was of great importance at times of war, particularly it was at that time that the whole England was under imminent stress of attacks from the continent. Tea has helped the country through warfare in WWI, and it seem obvious here that it was contributing to the spirit and health of both the people and the military through WWII.Would be nice if they had another actor for the role 😉

I doubt they could find another with such memorable eyebrows, though…it’s just something else completely.
I especially like the bloody enormous tea pots. I need one, even if I never use the thing. Actually, I probably could use it for social gatherings. Not sure what kind of infusion it would render.
