☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

How long you steep and what temperature depends on the type of tea you're brewing.
Generally the darker the tea the hotter and longer you brew for. What type of tea are you using?
And agitation isn't necessary; just do not squeeze the teabag into your drink, it will make it bitter.
Today, I was trying oolong. But I have black tea as well. No herbals or greens (I think those are the main families, right?)
I usually do black tea right off the boil for 4 minutes, and oolong I'll throw a (smallish) ice cube in the cup after the boil till it's melted and do a 3 minute steep.
