    It gets bitter if you use water that’s too hot. For black tea you’ll want to bring it to a boil, then take it off the heat and you can pretty much immediately add the tea then. For green tea you want it quite a bit cooler than that, and so forth.

      That’s basically what I do. I use a water boiler and put the boiling water into a cup or can with tea bag or more often tea strainer. Sorry if I was implying anything other than that

          It was silly of you to think you can “just be silly”. This is a very serious community for all I know
