Even if you don't get really into tea you might just try making a cup of tea with hot water instead of boiling water and only let it steep for 2-3 minutes (ie. don't just leave the bag sitting in the cup while you drink). I've found that it can give the tea a better flavor with less bitterness. There certainly is a whole world of loose leaf teas to explore, but at the same time, it's plenty possible to make a really good cup of tea from a standard tea bag.

"I've always been a "pour boiling water into mug with prepackaged tea bag in it" kind of guy, your app might convince me to discover the finer side of tea."

Hmm, I'll definitely check that out. Thanks!

The flickering is greatly reduced on subsequent viewings (even after clearing the cache) and only occurs as the video is starting up now, not a big deal IMO. Not sure why it was so flickery the first time.

No idea what is going on with the youtube embed. I've used css media queries to use a placeholder image on mobile safari that is a thumbnail you can click and will load the youtube video.
