Most low-grade tea is fine to boil, but green, white, Oolong(*** tea) and others yield greater benefits at lower temperatures.
The amount of tea leaves used during steeping affects the strength of the tea **. Adding more leaves to the same amount of water increases the overall surface area of the tea, literally making more tea compounds available for dissolution.
