I brewed up a cup of green tea-in-a-bag at about 9:30am. I just left the bag in the mug. It is a big mug, so there is still tea in it at 2pm, though cold tea. It doesn't taste bad, so I started to wonder if there is a rule of thumb or a method for bag soaking, or does it matter?

Good green tea starts to taste like fish if left to soak for more than a few minutes. ****ty green tea has little of any flavor so it don't matter much.

Black tea, I leave it in the entire time I am drinking the tea.

This reminds me of a novel sexual act that I think you should all know about!

Hot Tubing: Getting a hand job while your balls dangle in a glass of warm water. Your lady blows bubbles into the hot tub with a straw while you enjoy yourself.

I would imagine that we could call this Soaking the Teabag if the bubbles were not used.
