Clearly all you want when ordering tea is amber/brown colored water, if you wanted flavor you would have ordered something like a soda or latte or something.

And I'm sure if you ask them about it they'd say "steep it extra long"

At least teabag is cheap. The other day I tried a coffee pod version of green tea (celestial? brand I guess). Oh it is so bitter, smokey and stimulative to stomach. For the first time I thoroughly understand why some non-tea drinkers claim green tea tastes bad :mrgreen:
