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.

Yes, but only if I'm making iced tea. The tannins in black tea seem to go well with ice and sugar, my test monkeys say approvingly, "Oh, that's strong."
