Default Another Question

I hope I don't become a pest but I have another question. I got a
sample of English Breakfast Tea. It is made up of leaves which are
more than a 1/2" long. Is the finished product supposed to be as
clear as green tea? The second time I put double the leaves in and
seeped it for 6 minutes in 8 ounces of water and it's still rather
clear. This isn't even close to as strong a tea as I want. It tastes
like Red Rose tea if the tea bag is taken out too soon.

So, am I doing something terribly wrong or is this the was the tea
should be?
