Tea Bags vs. Loose tea leaves
Comments

I introduced some American friends to the ritual of tea-making last year. They thought tea was 6 bags of fruit stuff, a bag of sugar, boiled water then chill it. It was utterly utterly vile, so I gave them Earl Grey with lemon and no sugar instead. Blinkin' rednecks.Nelly's other Mr. Hyde0

IOr maybe it just harks back to girls being given tea sets when we are little?!
I had a toy iron when I was a girl. Can't see me getting nostalgic about that ... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:spendy/she/her ***DEBT-FREE DATE: 11 NOVEMBER 2022!*** Highest debt: £35k (2006) MY WINS: £3,541 CASH; £149 Specsavers voucher; free eye test; goody bag from Scottish Book Trust; tickets to Grand Designs Live; 2-year access to Feel Amazing App (worth £100); Home Improvement & Renovation Show tickets; £50 to spend on chocolate; Harlem Globetrotters tickets; Jesus Christ Superstar tickets + 2 t-shirts; Guardians of the Galaxy goody bag; Birmingham City v Barnsley FC tickets; Marillion tickets; Dancing on Ice tickets; Barnsley FC v Millwall tickets0 -
I never had a tea set when I was little and always wanted one....
That's fairly obvious, isn't it?! :rotfl:0 -
Teabags and I need at least two large mugs on a morning before I can face the world!
Probably have 4 or 5 more thru the course of the day, green tea after my evening meal. None after 9pm or I'll be up in the night!!!0 -

I can't make tea that well with tea bags. I can just imagine the crazy mess I'd end up with if I used tea leaves!Murphy's No More Pies Club #209

Only drink it once a month or less so usually use bags (bought in small amounts as have had tea go off!)One day I might be more organised...........

I prefer loose tea, and I use a tea ball. I don't like it too strong and there's too much tea in one bag for one cup. I'm the only person in the family who drinks "proper" tea - my husband is South African and prefers Rooibos (I don't like any type of herbal tea). I wish they would make decaffeinated loose tea though.0

Having been brought up having to strain the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup through my teeth, ( I don't know why they always got me) I would never use t leaves. My dad used to like telling our fortunes with them. It's like tights isn't it. When i was a girl they wern't invented, so some of you youngsters may think stockingstare sexy. I just thought it was a real pain trying to keep my mini skirt below the stocking topsAnyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination:beer:

Tea bags, in a mug...don't own a tea pot.
I drink tea by the gallon every day, so I'd be for ever washing out the pot if I had one.One thing...that sets pulses racing...that gets hearts pounding...for which there is no substitute...only YOU can provide...blood.
