OTOH, those
lipton bags don't have much tea in them, so I'm not sure how far wrong
you could really go. Sub par, yes, but I don't know if you could make
the cup all that bitter with the little bit in them.

Oh if you squeeze them you can get all the Bitter you ever wanted. or
if you let them sit for half an hour. LOL My mom and dad used to
squeeze all the life out of their Liptons tea bags and drink it with
milk and sugar. Grandpa, (Ever the englishman) used to love loose tea
but used bags the most often, I guess for convenience. I can't
remember whether he squoze his or not. LOL

My sister and brother told me about 20 years ago that if we didn't
squeeze the bags the tea wouldn't be bitter. My first step to gormet
tea. LOL
