Yes you can, it is actually very easy to steep them too long. If you leave the tea leaves in the tea too long they begin to release a harsh bitter flavor that no one wants.
The best way to make your tea stronger is to add more tea leaves not more time.
Below I have listed a small list of the average time it takes to steep each type of tea. All recommendations are based on a quality loose leaf tea. Teabags vary too much and should be read for recommended steep time.
- Green Tea- 1-2 min
- Black Tea- 2-3 min
- Oolong- 2-3 min
- White- 4-5 min
- Flavored White- 1-2 min

A hill is steep when it has a pronounced incline. Steep also means to soak in liquid to extract flavor or to soften. When we steep tea in a tea pot, we take the infusor, which is full of the tea leaves, and put it into the hot water. It will steep there for several minutes to permit the water to extract the flavor from the tea so we may drink it.

How do i make a delicous tazo tea?
I would suggest purchasing Tazo tea bags from Starbucks or your local grocery store. You should boil some hot water and pour it into a mug over a tea bag. Cover the mug with something flat so that the tea has time to "steep". I would let it steep for 3-5 minutes before you enjoy your tea!
