[@sapenelopelarsipan2915]

Great topic!

[@GregorM-rp6pv]

Learned a lot!

[@thecopticmonk9423]

i learned a lot in this episode. thanks!

The bitterness factor is key. It’s a safer route to go shorter even on something like herbal.

[@hhsquizbowl]

I like short ones too

[@sapenelopelarsipan2915]

Me too

[@thecinemarag]

Reduces bitterness

[@TeamistressTX]

I agree with you. I do like the shorter ones. And most of my friends are shocked. When I tell them, you can reuse the leaves repeatedly.

[@permanentweightlossmadeeasy]

Agree

[@greenteahousetx]

I’d rather have a tea that’s a little light in a flavor than one that is possibly too bitter

Love you

[@rodrigosalazar426]

I love the salacious click-bait title "Infusion Controversy!" lol

[@alonzodejalisco1440]

I do long infusions for tisanes

[@sapenelopelarsipan2915]

Me too

[@alonzodejalisco1440]

all others maybe 90 seconds to 2 minutes several times

[@goeffreylundun8113]

It is a controversy with the tea geeks lol!!!

[@permanentweightlossmadeeasy]

No doubt

[@chalkymelontoo]

I'd say three to six minutes tops, and, yes, definitely reuse tea leaves.

[@greenteahousetx]

Depends on the category of tea. I would never do six minutes on a green or white or yellow unless you wanna have pucker face. Lol.

[@chalkymelontoo]

Yes, I want pucker face!

[@chalkymelontoo]

Bring it. Lol.

[@LMinem]

Interesting the water temperature question. Where I live, at altitude, water boils at 199F/200F.

[@rodrigosalazar426]

I go low in minutes and low in temp

[@tammanaq]

I leave the tea leaves in the pot until the pot is empty. To me it's a joke to leave the tea in for just 1 minute.
