Well if nobody else is brave enough to try it, I'll give it a go in the morning and report back. Never let it be said that I shy away from a good bit of sciencing!
I'll be trying too. Bare in mind that they are suggesting it removes bitterness in particularly stewed tea
My attempt was underwhelming, how about yours?
Well that's embarrassing. I forgot, and I'm sitting here with a cup of tea.

2 minutes later... as you say .... 'meh'
Radio silence, they may have died
I am not a morning person! It takes time for me to wake up and articulate science!
But I have tested this, and have to say it doesn't really seem to have made any difference? Maybe slightly less bitter, but maybe that's just placebo. Not that I have a problem with making overly-bitter tea in the first place, maybe this so-called scientist squeezes their teabag like in the photo and that's why it needed fixing to begin with.
The article is pretty vague on the correct amount to use so it's also possible I didn't do it right 🤷♀️
Well I appreciate your scientific curiosity
