I say all this as if I'm not involved, but instead of leaving my leaves to steep in peace, Francl has me energetically dunking and squeezing the teabag to speed things up and reduce the risk of any sourness.
I can't help agreeing with George Orwell, who said in his own 11-point guide to making the perfect cup that tea is meant to be bitter, just as beer is meant to be bitter arguing that adding sugar to disguise this aspect of it was quite as ridiculous as seasoning it with pepper or salt.
