That tea review data in full...

So we set out to try all the major and supermarket brand teas and decide which was the best this year.

The Tea & The Cakes

We tried the following teas:

• ASDA red label
• Clipper
• Lancashire
• Marks & Spencer everyday
• Morrisons red label
• PG Tips
• Sainsbury's red label
• Tesco red label
• Tetley
• Twinings
• Typhoo
• Whittard
• Yorkshire

While eating tasty scones provided by Mr. Brooks and my cheesecake.

The 'Paper'

I decided to present this data in the style of a scientific paper. Obviously I decided to use LaTeX to typeset this. Handily the American Physical Society provide Revlatex TeX 4.1 which provide macros to generate papers in the style of different APS journals. I chose to produce my 'paper' in the style of Phys. Rev. A.

Due to only having Excel available I had some poor looking graphs. This was, therefore, a chance for me to try using LaTeX to make graphs using pgfplots and TikZ. This didn't take particularly long and just required following the examples in the manual with a little bit of help from people at Stack Overflow.

You can view & download the Great British Tea Test 2012 in the style of a scientific paper here: Great British Tea Test 2012 or on the Documents & Links page of the site

Tom Out!

P.S. Thanks to my wonderful tea tasters and brewers!
