ANOTHER reason to choose the seas over skies.
Iconic tea company Twinings has said
research suggests that the taste of tea can
be reduced by a whopping 30% when
flying at altitude.
The finding, sure to inspire the ire of tea
lovers worldwide, is due to several
contributing issues including the fact that
water boils at just 89 degrees Celsius at
35,000ft, which is too cool to squeeze all
the taste out of a good black tea.
To combat this tea tragedy, Twinings has
partnered with British Airways, to create a
tea 30% stronger than its usual brew.
