Cuppa tea taste different? This could be the reason why

We love our tea and probably drink over ten five cups every day.

But, do you ever wonder why sometimes your cuppa tastes different?

Your mug in the morning might taste different to the one you have in work or in the local cafe.

Well, according to a documentary which aired on BBC2, Inside The Factory, there's a specific science to making a good brew.

And it all has to do with the amount of time you leave the teabag stewing in your cup.

Dr Stuart Farrimond suggest that leaving the bag in for five minutes exactly is how to get the most out of your cuppa, and depending on how long you leave it in for, it will taste different each and every time.

And apparently, Dr Stuart says that the colour of your mug or cup can also impact the way we taste tea.

The documentary noted that people who have a sweet tooth tend to go for a red or pink cup, while fans of savoury food like white or blue mugs because it brings out the *saltiness* of a cuppa.

We think we need to go boil the kettle now…
