Paragraph list

After selecting your tea blend, boil fresh water in a kettle, ensuring it reaches the right temperature.
The final step is to pour the tea into cups, add milk and sugar if desired, and enjoy the perfect cup of British tea.
To truly enjoy a British tea, one must first choose a tea blend that suits their taste preferences.
Pour the boiled water over the tea and let it steep for the appropriate amount of time, which varies depending on the tea.
While the tea is steeping, warm the teapot by rinsing it with a bit of boiled water, which will help maintain the tea's temperature once brewed.

It does not use any words that need prior context. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "After selecting" which needs context from a previous sentence. Paragraph 3 starts with "To truly enjoy" but it is not general enough to stand alone. Paragraph 4 starts with "While the tea is steeping" which also needs prior information. Paragraph 5 starts with "The final step" which assumes knowledge of earlier steps.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the process of making British tea. It uses words like "final step" which show it is the conclusion.
