Let it stew man, catch it just as the tannin starts to give it bitter taste – about 7 minutes. Add a drop of milk, and you’re away. I like my tea stronger than most people drink coffee. I think I have a tannin addiction…
I’ve never had a cup of tea that wasn’t disgusting in at least 2 different ways. And OK, sure, maybe every single one of them’s been somehow defective but tea drinkers have been drinking from the same pot and going MMMMMM lovely tea…
Some people just have poorly wired tastebuds I guess, it’d take me too long to solder them up right so I’ll just let them get on with it.
