have u considered that you remove the tea bag when you are done? not all the soluble tea particles is removed from the bag on its removal from the cup so is it safe to say that whichever method leaves the bag with less soluble tea particles in it would yield a stronger cup of tea?

if i ask "which of the two methods would yield a stronger cup of tea" its pretty obvious that its either a 'cup 1' ; 'cup 2' or 'both the same' answer. i didnt ask for alternative methods to make tea. this isnt a trick queation. depends on what?

I want to make a cup of tea....i want it to be as strong as possible. which of the following two methods would yield a cup with more tea in it ? 1. if i just put a tea bag in a single cup of boiled water for 2 minutes then remove it. OR 2. if i put a tea bag in half filled cup for one minute then remove it and put it into another half filled cup for another minute, remove it and then combine the contents of both half filled cups. Show me mathematically which would have a higher concentration.
