As a tea fan, I try to learn new brewing methods, that is when I stumbled upon the moka pot.
From what I read prior to purchase is that the taste of tea would be more intense than what one is used to.
Off to test that hypothesis and can conclude that is (subjectively) false.
Though I should remark that I don't follow brewing times. Means the tea ball stays in the cup until it is time to drink or annoys me too much while drinking. So brewing times at least are 10min and sometimes even hours.
The only thing that the hypothesis did share is a quick way to make a cup of tea. Will need to experiment with small brewing tweaks to play around with the intensify like cooling the lower pot to make it stronger or pulverizing the plant matter.
@barefootstache have you tried samovar style brewing? With robust leaves like Assamese or Kenyan teas it can produce really nice results, and it sounds like a good fit for you if you like to leave the tea ball in for a long time.
