Try 1.5 minutes, and let me know how that goes.

I'm fast depleting my sample of dragon well, but I don't think I've gotten a really good brew out of it yet. There always seems to be a tiny bite of bitterness as an aftertaste. I've tried:

3g / 180f / 3min per 8oz water
3.5g / 170f / 2-3min per 8oz water
3.5g / 160f / 2min per 8oz water

More/less tea? More/less time? Higher/lower temp?

Slight thread hijack.. do you weigh your tea before brewing?
