steep to long because your lazy and add milk to try and save it. Then they become used to it and make it that way on purpose.

I steep for at least 15 minutes. You can steep it on the stove for like an hour if you want to have it strong and still hot.

If you oversteep it green tea can taste like seaweed, so make sure you are not doing that?

Assam and Keemun are my favorites for generic all purpose black teas. I can have a cup of these at any time really. Any other all round blacks I should try?

I think tea works like this: You have to use more tea or increase the steep times (or a combination of both). Do this until the tea starts tasting like you want it to taste. Adjusting the temperature of the water will also have an effect. How much space the tea has to move while steeping could also effect things. Try a higher tea ratio and see what happens. Make notes if you want to be really tryhard about it. Like if I want to make some Keemun OP I boil water, put it in a random size cup with a perforated metal tea infuser filled with a teaspoon of tea. I then steep it for what I feel is 2 and a half minutes but atleast under 5 minutes. It doesnt end up tasting the same every time when I do it like this but its always good enough to be fairly satisfying.

I think the 2 things are related: having to use milk/suger in tea and 10 minute steep times for black teas.
