    Not sure why I remember this, but around 17 years ago I watched a BBC show about the history of Tea and IIRC the Dutch think we’re all crazy for drinking our tea when it’s hot. They also advocate for a bare minimum of two minutes brewing.

    I’m usually a solid 3 minute sort of guy. I’m a rockstar like that.

      I agree with the Dutch. Some teas I’m at 4-5 mins, remove the bag, then forget about it for 10-30 mins at which point it’s cool enough that I can drink without negotiation.

      They also use a LOT less actual tea.

      And re use the bag over and over and over.

      It’s more like “water what is also orange” by the end
