tea bagging

i had a nice cup of ceylon tea with a coworker, from a bag.

it had a little bitterness at the end, which got me to remembering why i generally stay away from tea: like coffee, tobacco, beermaking, audio gear, barbecue, or software, it's exactly the sort of thing i will geek out on, buy a bunch of crap, finally have a great cup, and then drop the hobby. that's a rabbit hole i've been down too many times.

still, i wonder what i'd have to do to improve that cup? i'm sure it would have been better in a real mug, with proper water.
