    Then the Boston Tea Party already turned the ocean into tea in 1700’s. So how long does it stay that way?

        Most of us for sure. The southern way of making tea is to boil water with the tea bags in it until you have a black concentrated bitter concoction. Next you mix it with four to five times the amount of water and add enough sugar to trigger a diabetic coma. Then you put it in the fridge and serve it over ice. I can’t have it anymore and stay alive. I’ve grown used to making my tea in the British shall I say worldwide way. After having tea this way for a over a decade I can’t stand the smell of sweet tea. I do make a large batch of unsweetened tea to drink over ice in the summer. I have to use four to five times as much tea with less water added. I do not over boil the water to make it palatable to me.

        The few times others have drank it they have commented on how its not bitter. I don’t think very many us realize good tea is not bitter.

          I lived in Texas for a few years and can confirm, southern-style sweet tea is just tea-flavored syrup.

    Nah, there is an upper limit on how quick the infusion would permeate the same as you can see it permeate in the cup.

      I’m curious what the upper limit is before the tea leaves have released all they were going to release. I routinely male a 500ml flask of tea with a single tea bag. Could I male a litre?

        It will reach an equilibrium concentration. Then no more can come out. If you then put it in fresh water, more would come out. Etc.
