? It's the tea-concentrate you make in your small teapot before making a cup of tea with it and boiling water; it tastes like whatever tea you used, only moreso and with more of the background flavours evident...drinking neat zavarka would let you see through time and space and possibly kill you...I have done it by accident and spent the rest of the afternoon off my face.
So in answer to your question as I think it was, brewing zavarka is a tea-efficient preparation method that brings out the best in even low-grade tea, or good tea cut with worse, but may not be for the absent-minded. Tea!
Mm. I understand her feelings, justified or no.
I know, and it is decidedly Not Helpful...I try to always give a 'this is better...' if I have to criticise, because what is also Not Helpful is not giving someone the opportunity to correct themselves, understand and apologise.
