I accidentally left a bottle of water on my coffee table, and the condensation from it has left quite a mark on it. It’s a very dark stain on the table, and the water stain is very bright. I’ve heard that you can stain the spot using brewed coffee or tea depending on the shade you need, but I’m not sure if it actually works. I don’t want to have to strip the table and stain it again because it’s rather old and I can’t afford to buy more stain at the moment. Any help would be great!

there are a variety of water stain fixing products out there that will fix the stain better than tea or coffee. check out an antique store and ask about the solutions they use. the stuff I use is mixed by a local guy and sold in a large antique store. It’s amazing and easy to use.
If the water mark is a kinda whitish mark then the finish may have absorbed some moisture and caused a condition called blushing. A cheap easy first try to remove it would be to set your blow dryer on low/med heat and try to evaporate the moisture trapped in the finish. Be careful not to over heat the finish.
Good Luck.
