Mostly good information, but some conflict on the timing. The chart
says to start at 30 second said add 5 seconds each try to get where
you like. It will take forever to get to the finish line. The other
text says 1 to 2 minutes. I like 4 minutes for most Ceylon black
teas. Beyond 4 you can get bitterness.
