Do you... A. bukkake your tea bags with hot water (or) B. dip

bukakke
that being said I never use teabags, always loose leaf
also you probably shouldn't use boiling water, 95 degrees is optimal for black tea

>>9066225
95 Degress Communism Count or 95 Degrees Freedom Units?

>>9066348
Probably the one that isn't barely above room temperature.

god why would anyone add water on top of leaves

>>9066537
Because they're making a second infusion and it would be wear to take all the moist tea leaves out of the bottom of their brewing device to add water before dumping them back in? Or because the agitation of pouring the water over the leaves helps get them to open up?

>>9066225
I prefer loose leaf tea steeped in 500 degree water. 95 just isn't optimal for a superior brew.

C. chew them idly like a caffeine snus

>>9066201
C. use loose leaf because teabag tea is bitter, astringent and lacking in any complexity whatsoever

I mash the bag against the bottom of the cup with a spoon.

How do you know if the water is exactly 95 degree, though?

>>9067748
thermometer. it doesn't need to be exact though, just wait 2 minutes after boiling the water
