Loose leaf!

yes, weedy is right. loose leaf for sure but you can tear open the tea bag ad use a strainer. i got a couple--the kind that sits on top of cup is nice and easy. get the stainless kind. a ton of different stryle and not expensive. i love my earl gray tea every day

I wonder how the rest of us ever made it without getting our minimum daily requirement of plastic...
Since we chewed on the end of a BIC pen, could we get: "around 11.6 billion microplastics and 3.1 billion nanoplastics in a single day?"
I always drink everything thru a plastic straw, does that count?

I drink water out of a plastic bottle, even though it says "do not refill". Am I going to plastic heII now?

I'll see you there!! We buy water occasionally just to get the bottles to refill with our well water! Are we going to have to drink hot tea out of plastic bottles in plastic hell??
