It’s not a linear scale from light to dark. There are three constituents: tea, milk and water. A weak cup of tea with a little milk looks different from a strong cup with a decent amount of milk. This should be a ternary plot.
I thought my Irish mate was having me on saying Irish tea was better than British tea all those years ago. Then I picked up a box of Barry’s while looking for something to do in Limerick. Now I don’t let it run out.
My grandmother is from the northwest of Germany. People over there got a very unique tea culture and their own famous blends. Last time I visited her, I gave her a box of Barrys. After the first teapot was empty, she asked me to bring lots more Barrys when I visit her again.
E5 for me. I soak and squeeze the crap out of the teebag.
A tip for everyone to get stronger tee. Put the teebag in a quarter cup of boiled water, then boil it in the microwave for 30 seconds, then add the rest of the water. It releases all the favour in the bag.
That sounds like too much tannin, but if you like that then why not. I prefer to use different tea for a stronger or milder tea flavour. I’m not trying to knock what works for you, if I had a microwave I would at least be willing to try it so I could comment with more knowledge.
You might enjoy using a loose leaf tea if you haven’t tried before?
