so i was brought up on teabags , and just got in to loose leaf tea 6
months ago.
i find the loose leaf tea amazing and have about 25 types at home from
whites, greens, blacks, puerh, a whole spectrum of tea tasting.

i recently picked up a didgital scale and measured out how much i
normally would use . to see how much i was using normally for
different teas.

the weights ranged from 3.5 to 7 grams per cup, that i had been using,
some of the green gunpowders i was way over in the estimating of
grams.

so i was dosing myself with mega caffeine and found some teas got
better after the 2nd to 3rd infusing, now i know why, too much darn
tea to start with.

now i have been introduced to another spectrum of flavours to these
teas, which were hidden by the overpoering use of tea. a more subtle
flavouring

i had been brought up on black finings tea bags and thought all teas
were supposed to be the same harsh acidic, tannic stuff.
