I drink tea almost every afternoon--I put the leaves in a strainer, pour the water over, and let it steep for 3-4 minutes. But that's pretty strong black tea, so it may be that yours is just lighter in flavor. I think green teas tend to be more light in flavor, and they have a shorter steeping time.Krugthethinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216398915236885253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023453134021126491.post-2190496064430836562013-03-25T22:30:32.278-04:002013-03-25T22:30:32.278-04:00I hate tea LOL so I'm the wrong person to ask ...I hate tea LOL so I'm the wrong person to ask unfortunately.

I bring my water to a boil, pack the steeper full and steep the tea as long as it takes to get the water back down to a good drinking temp. I prefer teas from England, like English Breakfast. Those are strong, good teas.

We drink a lot of English Breakfast tea and fill the steeper that we have completely up. Then we let it steep in the water until the temperature of the water is actually drinkable and won't burn our tongues. I'm not familiar with Chinese tea except for the green tea you get at a Chinese restaurant and that usually is very weak and really does taste more like warm water until you sweeten it with sugar and than its just sugar water. Just Google "Tea Steeper" to see image samples. You may want to try different types of teas too if you are interested in doing so - I suggest English teas - they know their tea. On a side note, I love Chai tea lattes from Starbucks.

You can keep brewing longer for a stronger flavor, but at some point it can get bitter doing this. Some teas just aren't as strong tasting as others are though, so it may be the variety you have.
