[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 697642, member: 1963"] SWOT, have you tried it brewed black and served with milk and sweetener to taste? I assure you my tea doesn't have a watery taste at all. Part of that is the brand of tea I use (PG TIps), part of that is how long I let it steep, and a big part of it is using an electric kettle and pouring the water over the teabag while the water is still at a full boil. That last makes all the difference, especially for coffee drinkers trying to make a cup of tea. Unlike coffee where the water should be just below boiling point when it hits the coffee, tea leaves, whether black, green, or pekoe, are sort of twisted and rolled up, whether loose or ina teabag. The boiling hot water causes the tea leaves to "blossom" and unroll, exposing much more surface area and hence more flavor to the water. [/QUOTE]
