Tea offers better contrast than Ilford devs and the tea variant does not
have a 1/4 of the pungent smell that the coffee did.  If you make it
though, mix 10 bags into 1L of 22C water, let steep with moderate
agitation for at least 15 minutes, then mix in 3x the specified amount
of sodium carbonate and vitamin c.
120 second dev time for paper.  Have not tried Caffinol-C with film yet,
that's to come.
