Tea stained version

Nice one. Just a nice subtle hint of reddish/brownish/pink on my monitor. I think I'll have a go at this. Is this drinking strength? What is drinking temp? I normally drink at way above blood heat - usually at sipping rather than gulping temp so can you give a rough indication of temp? Presumably longer is darker or more likely just deeper hue? What else, if anything is involved after staining, other than drying?

Thanks

Not very scientific im afraid... This one was:

One mug full of boiling water with 3 heaped teaspoons of loose tea.

Then added to enough cold water to make about 450ml in a 10x8 tray. (leaves and all, not strained)

Print then Imediately imersed - 4 minutes with constant agitation.

The print was dried normaly. (hung from a line)

I have tried a couple more since, 2 heaped teaspoons appears to be enough - and temperature seems to make quite a difference. I'll record the actual temps next time, but hotter seems to work better. Gives a very even orange stain.
