Making tea?

I have a friend who has an interesting way of making tea. He puts the tea leaves in a glass of hot water. These leaves accumulate on the top of the water level. However, as you watch, they slowly begin to drop and settle down the glass. After 15 minutes, most of them are at the bottom of the glass and the tea is ready. No need to strain the leaves.

That is what I want the next few days like. Put in the thought-leaves and let them settle. No stirring, sloshing, shaking the mix. Let them sink gently as and when they are ready. The question before me is, can I wait?
