Wow yes that is a HUGE dose. I have never had my tea actually turn blue before. If you try again, definitely dose MUCH lower, and consider warming the water you use for the tea all the way to boiling, and steeping for a solid 15 minutes. I've made the mistake of using water that isn't hot enough, and having an underwhelming experience.
Also, another idea is that you can prepare a certain dose, but only take half of it at first. If 1-2 hours later you feel it's not strong enough, then have the other half.

This happened to me in December 2020. You'll come back from it eventually, just need some time to process all that you experienced. Having a heavier trip than you expect is pretty much universally a bad time.
Mushroom potency can vary somewhere in the ballpark of 100x between genetics, and even up to 10x between mushrooms in the same flush. Also, doubling the dose != doubling intensity. Always make sure to increase your dosing gradually if you want harder trips, and assess the general potency of a batch of shrooms (and keep your batches separated), before going on a big trip with them.
You'll be fine, the feelings of insanity go away after awhile. I also didn't see strange worlds, but had visuals like the ones you speak of. I'm not sure if its an individual thing, or if other people hype it up too much, or if it requires a very specific head space. I think a big part of it is that you need to be in the dark or have your eyes closed with little light coming through your eyelids.
