Do you use tea bags or tea leaves?

no, iced tea only

Leaves; then I can make the tea nice and weak, as I prefer it. I don't like anything that comes in pre-measured amounts, I prefer to decide for myself how much to use.


I also have a slice of lemon in my tea, as I dislike it with milk in.

Both depending on circumstances.
Leaf is much more moneysaving as it is thought to store longer if kept properly, plus you tend to use less of it for the same "ahhh" brew. It then goes onto the garden for further benefits, whereas the teabag (whilst near idiot-proof) does not compost at all well.

That's because the bags are made from plastic. There are plastic free bags out there but they are hard find and surprisingly they are the more expensive brands.

bags in office, leaves at home.

I also tend to buy loose leaf chai as the tea bags aren’t that nice & same with earl grey & green as I find bagged green tea disgusting.

Some teas are only available in bags though

I also use both depending on the tea. I think leaves taste far nicer and absolutely agree that most green tea bags are horrible. Leaf green tea is so much nicer.
