Does anyone else let their tea steep for an extended period of time? (sopuli.xyz)

I started to use an automatic coffee maker a friend left at my house to brew my Bengal spice (chai with roasted chicory instead of black tea). I put my tea bags in the glass pot.

I began setting it so it sat for an hour. Then for my birthday my son got me a new coffee machine that keeps the pot hot for 4 hours, now I steep my tea for about 2 hours.

You must really like tannin. Steeping for a long time brings out lots of tannins. No thank you says I.

    Not bitter, and afaik chicory does not have tannins.

    You know, my eyes ran right over chicory and didn't even see it. I have no experience with chicory so ignore my remarks.
