Should you dunk a tea bag?

It depends on personal preference and the type of tea. Dunking a tea bag can help release more flavor and aroma from the tea leaves, but it can also make the tea bitter if left in the water for too long. Some teas, such as green tea, are more delicate and should not be steeped for too long, while black tea can withstand longer steeping times. If you are unsure about how long to steep your tea, follow the instructions on the package.
