Making an international standard cup of tea

As far as I can find, no-one has actually made a International Standard Cup of Tea - ISO 3103 or BS 6008 - for the internet before. Lots of people have talked about it, but that's easy. Making one? That requires precision... and some specialist equipment.

Quietly edited out of this video: two minutes of waiting for the kettle to boil because I forgot to push the button to start it.

when he said "specialty equipment that most people haven't even heard of" I thought he was going to be doing some kind of interferometry or mass spectrometry on it. instead it was weird special equipment that I hadn't heard of.

Never before have i heard the words "I dont like tea" said in the English accent.

Drinking tea without even liking it is about as british as it gets.

A quote from The Whiskey Tribe comes to mind:

“The definition of good whiskey is whiskey you like to drink, and the right way to drink whiskey is the way you want to.”

This video is technically outdated because the ISO revised the standard in 2019.

"Make your tea days in advance then warm it in the microwave" Ah I see you've met my father.

Tom: "I don't actually like tea..."

Also Tom: "I think British tanks are superior because they all have onboard kettles, so the crew can have tea whenever they want!"

"Inspect the tea leaves"

*Ah yes, the leaves are made of moist*

I'm American so I bring my water to a roaring boil for EXACTLY 2 minutes, pour it into the mug with a tea bag already in place at the exact 12 o'clock position and let it steep for no less than 5 minutes and 12 seconds and no more than 5 minutes and 18 seconds and then I dump it down the sink and grab a gas station coffee and a 2 day old doughnut

For tea tasting usually you use a "Tasting Spoon" instead of directly slurping from the cup, which is another criteria for "International Standard" of tea tasting

In my last company i was an ISO17025 auditor and its amazing how the standard is the way almost no one actually does anything, but its an absolute standard that if followed the process will be completed correctly, just not to a high standard or particularly efficiently
