I am a pleb, but it's bags for me. Yorkshire Gold. 4 mins at 80c.

I also do iced Yorkshire with 6 bags. 16 fl Oz water at 80c. 4 mins. Simple syrup to taste. Ice to fill.

I've tried other methods but they all feel so involved compared to simply dunking a bag.

Right there with you. I almost exclusively use bags. Maybe loose leaf once in a blue moon if it looks really nice, but that's also with the metal ball thing which is basically a reusable bag. 😆 Not to mention, my usual black tea is Lipton and water at 84c.
