Try boiling your water and letting it sit for a minute before you pour it over your tea bag or over an infuser. Let it steep for a minute and take a sip. If it tastes weak you can always put the infuser in for a little while longer.

I am more of a robot in this situation.
I follow the instruction that come with a tea. To a letter
(male thing?)
The only deviations that I do is when they say 2-3 or 3-5 minutes, I always choose the shortest amount time, unless it is a tisane (not tea at all) like Lapacho for example. They say 7-10 minutes and I do 8-9.
When they say 80-90C, I choose 80-85.
