You're taking the piss, right? Squeezing the bags makes the tea bitter, by releasing tannins into the tea. You steep, pull and allow to drip. For stronger taste steep longer. I'm a dumb American and even I know that

Seems to hit home for me. Then again we like a bit of bitter over here, usually in pint form but tea works. Also Marmite.

Bitter tea is part of the British tea experience. If you want tea served perfectly and properly with respect to the leaves and bringing out their best flavours, you want to drink tea the way they do in East Asia, not Britain.

Gotcha. I'm clearly more prone to the East Asian cuppa.
