Ok honest question. Do Brits only let the tea soak for like 2-5 minutes? I always let it soak for longer, like 15 minutes otherwise I think it just doesn't taste as good.

Edit: I probably should have clarified that, when I say 15 minutes, I was thinking about teabags. I only use teabags for stuff like lavender tea etc. Also I would never let black tea soak for 15 minutes, I've accidentally been there. Can't recommend it.

Ten minutes? Bloody hell!

Four is about all it takes for most tea. You go longer, you're just getting the bitter parts
