how long should tea steep?
<answer> For strong tea 3 to 5 minutes and for weak tea a minute or less. <context> Yes it does. If you want strong tea, steep it for a long time (3 to 5 minutes), If you want weak tea steep it for a minute or less. I like strong tea, so I'm always steeping mine a long time. NakedHike · 9 years ago.
