In addition to coffee daily, I also drink an Irish Breakfast tea and usually 1-2 cups of various others later in the day as well (this winter season I’ll do mint, chamomile, probably Rooibos or Oolong, whatever I happen to find for cheap).

An electric water kettle was given to me as a gift (but they are cheap anyway I thought?) and it’s so super fast and easy. I don’t really know what I’m doing - just pour, steep for ~1 min, then drink, repeat:-). For breakfast tea I add creamer, for the rest nothing. I’m sure I could do more like put those large packs in something airtight.

What do you rock, in terms of tea🍵?

    I do it as a cost-savings measure: I steep once for 1-2 minutes, then later in the day re-use the same bag once more, at which point it can steep for several minutes.

    I’m probably over-thinking that - especially if I am under-thinking all other aspects of tea-making:-).

    But thanks for the tip - perhaps I’ll try one at 3min and see how much better it tastes!:-)
