Here’s what I recommend: get some silver needle white tea - Yunnan Sourcing has good stuff - and a big tea strainer basket that goes in your mug. Boil the leaves for three minutes, but don’t dump the basket, just put it aside. Drink the cup. Then boil them again for 3 minutes 30 seconds, drink, and boil for 4 minutes. See how that goes. If you get a big bag of tea, you’ll be able to experiment.
I used to believe tea was trash too. That was because I was only drinking grocery store bags. Problem with those is the tea in them is stale, like breadcrumbs, and typically devoid of flavor. Broaden your horizons a bit.
