If the tea is really brown does that mean its ready even if its only been in the for a minute?!

Question: as they say, looks can be deceiving, and although the color may look right, tea really needs to sit in the boiling water for 4-6 minutes. In that time, the oils and substances from the tea leaves are releasing themselves in the hot water. the hot water needs to penetrate the entire particles of the leaves. In tea bags, the particles are smaller. When using loose leaf tea, it sometimes requires longer.

Depends on the kind of tea.

The bag changes the water colour almost instantly, but you will still need to let the bag steep/brew for around 3-5 minutes.
Otherwise, your tea won't be strong at all.
