I rarely make tea, but I vaguely remember when I did long ago, that on rare occasions it was bitter and I kind of attributed that to having the water too hot. I assumed it wasn't a problem usually because I wasn't brewing it in a large teapot but after pouring into a mug during which the temperature drops substantially.
