OK, I've butted into a few conversations around here of late, so should probably do the customary intro.
Tea has been the beverage of choice in my household for the better part of two decades, at least since a family visit to England induced a temporary access of anglophilia in my kids and led to a ritual nightly family cuppa. That in turn led, predictably, to loose tea, eventually to the Internet, and to a longterm relationship with Darjeelings and high-grown Ceylons.
Those kids, black tea drinkers all, have now gone off on their own, and over the last few years my personal consumption has gravitated almost exclusively to greens, except for the occasional white or yellow, and just recently I've been reconnecting with oolongs after a too-long hiatus. I'm probably more of an aficionado than a connoisseur, and withal a bit of a fundamentalist--I avoid any and all flavored teas on principle. Nothing against 'em, but my thinking is why add confusion to the infusion when there's such a big taste world to explore out there with the real stuff. Your steeping time may of course vary, chacun a son gout and all, and may your next cup be even tastier than your last. Cheers!

“Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”
“You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing.”
