My loose leaf tea is weak…just doesn’t taste right…?
I was in Teavana last week and they had the most amazing tea to sample. I just had to buy some. It was a combination of Rooibos Chai and a Yerba Mate.
So, I bought a tea infuser ball and followed their instructions implicitly (at this website)

However, I’ve done it twice and both times it’s come out what seams weak–it lacks the rich flavor it did at the store. What am I doing wrong? I am heating the water with an old-fashioned whistling teapot.
Also, if I wanted to make two cups at the time, how do I do it? My first attempt I tried a cup-and-a-half amount (with a proportionate amount of tea and time to steep) and it still tasted weak. Is there a chance I’m not heating my water hot enough?
I know you just bought it but if it’s not fresh it’ll taste weak. maybe double up on the amount of loose tea. ? It’s a bummer when your looking forward to something specific and it doesn’t hit the mark. good luck.
