Extraction - Using juice instead of water when making tea

[LostCelestial]

Hey guys and gals...

SWIM though he'd like to share his latest tea making recipe.

Instead of just dumping water on top of his blended up pods, he's started using fruit juices instead. He's found his resulting tea has been a lot more potent and SO much less painful to drink (SWIM normally almost backfires his first sip of a new cup).

SWIM was wondering if there was any particular reason why he might be getting such better product using this method ? He's read that the best extractions happen at a certain pH, could this be the cause ?

I'm sure SWIM would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions!
