I thought I'd posted this, but don't see it.
These are my tea-treated seeds - still coming up.

Did you just treat with tea, or did you also chill the seeds?
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

I chilled them for about a month in packets in the fridge, Tom. They sprouted a month or two sooner than last year's crossings, and after the 5 day cup of tea treatment.

The last seedling was really pretty Tom. I see it bloomed low in the foliage though. Did you keep it to see what it does next year? Was the bloom as small as a dwarf?

It was another SDB sized bloom.
