Make sure you leave the bags in for that extra dose of sweet sweet lead
If lead acetate is bad for me why does it taste so good?
Please explain
I remember reading how if you steep tea for too long a lot of the toxins and stuff seeps out and also a lot of tea is grown in areas where the soil contains lead and gets into the tea which sucks because how can you know

I was literally sipping a tea with the teabag in it and you made me take it out before doing anything else.
haha I got all my coworkers to stop leaving their tea bags in their cups, it keeps the tea from getting bitter also
but i like it bitter, now youre telling me its the lead :(
My drain is already bamaged enough I'll drink my teabag water
There was a story that came out recently about those triangle/metallic-type tea bags are releasing tons of microplastics into your tea when the water is hot. So not exactly the ones in the photo because they’re paper, but still. Topical joke
Ok, gotcha. As someone who drinks a LOT of tea, I should probably read up on this. Thanks
Elevate but still lazy mode
TJ Homegoods should have some, $5-$10, then whatever loose leaf ya want and there’s a whole world of it!
Capers and turnip greens, my favorite herbal tea.
For real though, I should look into this. I've been enjoying some herbal tea at night. Mostly rooibos, but some ginger tumeric that smells like feet, but tasty feet.
One of my favorite teas has cardamom pods in it. Looks nasty af when I empty the pot.
Nice! I use a French press and loose tea from a Mediterranean market I get to every few weeks
This looks perfect!
