		<description>Your videos are quirky, but actually fairly informative. I discovered you from your video clip on Adagio&#039;s website regarding their Earl Grey Bravo.

I have one suggestion that would be helpful for newbie&#039;s, like me. You give the time and temperature, but you do not give the give the amouunt of tea or the amount of water. This would be helpful. I would prefer the tea in grams, rather than teaspoons, and the water in milliliters, but I can easily convert from ounces or cups.

Actually, I have a second suggestion. It would be helpful to see the actual brewing process, rather than having it off camera. You&#039;d be surprised how much a newbie can learn from watching what may be obvious to the more experienced.

Now I have a question: On the Earl Grey Bravo clip, you brewed something like 6 cups and then poured out 2 cups at 3, 5, and 7 minutes. Is this a valid test of brewing time? The water keeps decrfeasing but the tea remains constant. If you started with 6 cups of water and 12 grams of tea, the 3-minute brew was at 2g/cup.

The 5-minute brew is somewhat more complicated. At first, I thought it was at 3g/cup (12/4), but the first 3 minutes was still at 2g/cup and only the last 2 minutes at 3g/cup, so the average should be 2.4g/cup ((3*2 + 2*3) / 5)?

If I did that right, then the 7-minute brew  would be at 3/4g/cup on average ((3*2 + 2*3 + 2*6) / 7.

What do you think?</description>
