- Stop using teabags. - Do not buy tea from Teavana. - If you you are using teabags, stop leaving it in the cup after you're done steeping. - STOP USING TEABAGS. - Start buying loose leaf or cakes. - The optimal brewing temperature highly depends on the tea. Most puer and oolong are good at boiling whereas most green tea need around 80-85 degrees celsius. Lurk more. - Start brewing gonfu, even just to try it. You can do it with a spare cup. No excuses. You won't want to go back to western brewing when you gongfu a good tea. - Stop being cheap and get some dirt cheap scales and timers. - Kamjoves exist and are arguably the french press of gongfu.
Most of the world uses teabags. Most of the world also drinks instant coffee. Could you be more inclusive?

You're absolutely allowed to enjoy it, but just drinking bagged tea straight from the store isn't really a hobby. I do it, but I wouldn't post here about it, I only post stuff related to tea as a hobby. Which teabags are nor.

How do I make a pot of green tea without it going to shit? I have around 20g of longjing left and I don't want to waste any more of it. The tea was made in a 3 cup teapot, steeped for 2:30 and used around 6-7 grams of leaf with water around 165F. This proved to be an incredibly bitter and terrible pot of tea.
Less time? Less leaf? What would you guys recommend?
Probably some hojicha when I get home. The smell and taste are prefect, so I usually make a cup every day.
