If you add two tea bags into a tea cup, will more tea dissolve into the water?

Did I mean 100C?

dont use tea bags, they taste like dust

 

My guess is that indeed it is more a question of time than quantity limit. Try placing different flavored tea bags in one cup and you can still taste the different flavors, even if the bags are added at distinct times.

 

Did anybody mentioned that dissolved chemical in the tea are function of solubility of the chemical in the mixture of the tea and function of temperature.

I am not sure if the tea will be solubilized completely because are bark of the plant which is not soluble , but some compounds will be leached out.

 

We did that experiment in Organic Chemistry - boiled a tea bag for a couple of minutes (the altitude was almost 2000 feet, so the boiling point was significantly less than 100 degrees C) and extracted the caffeine from the water.

If I was adding to your earlier post, I'd mention that each of the chemicals in the tea will reach its own equilibrium at its own rate. The caffeine will reach equilibrium before the tea is ready to drink but many of the other constituents may not. You might get more good flavours by steeping it longer but you want to stop before the bad flavours start taking over.

 

Tea made with much lower than boiling point water tastes atrocious.
Did your mountain tea taste good? I would guess not.

Two teabags in a cup tastes bad. The cold teabags bring down the temperature of the water too quickly.

Tea made at the bottom of the ocean probably tastes great
but I can't say for definite, not having made any tea there.

I can say however, that tea made at the seaside is definitely superior to tea made in my home town at 237 feet
and oddly enough ice creams taste better there too.

 

:bugeye:

It was actually prairie tea and we didn't drink it. We were only after the caffeine. There's a surprisingly large amount of it in one tea bag. :bugeye:

 

Mmmh....
I haven't noticed any difference between tea in stormy weather, and tea in fine weather.
Fine weather tea should taste better, and stormy weather tea worse.
What we need is a good storm to test the theory.

 

Anyone here from the Gulf of Mexico with a teapot?

 

I am late on these tea party . Any on is familiar with a caffeine free, called "sleepy tea " What are the components to induce sleep . I am using this product for over 3 months.

 

I have this huge teacup, wherein I use three tea bags at a time, just to speed up the tea making. I don't have much patience.

 

What volume of tea does your teacup hold?
A larger than normal tea-cup is usually called a mug.

Have you ever met anyone who uses a bigger teacup than yourself?

Personally, I would not want a larger teacup.
For health reasons.
Going to make tea is one of my major exercises.

 

To make good tea, the water should be poured into the cup while still bubbling from boiling.
Hence the old tea-making saying "Take the pot to the kettle, not the kettle to the pot".
Now the cup with the teabag has replaced the pot, but the same applies.
