Actually, I drank busted for a while lasted year. The instruction says I have to boil it for a few minutes, however I didn't have time for that so I only add hot water to it. I wonder if this affected its effectiveness.

I'm not sure, but that's a good point that you bring up. I've been doing the same thing, just adding hot water to the Bust Tea because I didn't think it mattered. But I just checked, and it does say to boil for 6 to 8 minutes. Thanks for mentioning this! From now on, I'm going to follow the directions, because it must be important if they specifically say to do so.

UPDATE: I just tried boiling the tea, and it seems it to be richer in color and taste, have more depth, and still good flavor. So yeah, I would definitely say that boiling it for 6 to 8 minutes per the instructions is a game changer and better because you get more of the nutrients from the tea bag!
