What kind of tea:  Earl Grey? English Breakfast?  Darjeeling? What color dye? 

Thank you,

In 'aging' paper or fabric for fine art work, I've found that (at least for me) most tea results in a hint of pinky-orange to the brown hue, which I don't like.  When i use strong coffee instead of tea, the brown stays more pure and leans more towards a good plain umber brown. Just my own experience tho.

For banjo skin I've always used artists oil paints, real dirt, graphite, applied like a whisper.
