I love black tea, particularly Earl Grey. I find it very comforting, like a warm hug. Starting in fall I drink several cups a day. During the summer I make iced tea.
Green tea shouldn't really be strong, you're probably steeping it too long. I drink green tea if I'm after something light (or if I'm out of milk, which I need for black tea).
Steeping is just another word for soaking the tea/tea bag. For when the tea is sitting in the boiled water.
I think steeping is the American English for what in Britain we would call brewing. (S)he is saying you're brewing it too long.
