For tea drinkers

[debodun]

Do you use mainly bagged tea or mostly brew loose left in a teapot?

 

[Pinky]

Tea bags, mostly. On occasion, loose-leaf tea.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I can't bear the thought of all the extra work involved with using loose tea!

 

[Happy Heart]

I'm also a bag lady, just like Aunt Bea. We like the green tea Costco sells in the huge boxes and on chilly days we also like Indian tea with lots of spices.

Tea bags, always.....

 

[Lewkat]

Tea bags and have lots of lemon and honey on hand. Cannot abide tea with cream or milk in it.

 

[Murrmurr]

Bags for iced tea, loose-leaf for hot tea.

 

[Tish]

I like bagged tea.

 

[PamfromTx]

I prefer bagged tea.

Why do you ask, Deb ?

 

[Bella]

I do both. Sometimes I use an empty tea bag for loose tea. I buy them in different sizes and use a large one to brew a pitcher of iced tea.

These are disposable.

These are reusable.​

Or, I use a tea ball.

I don't know why these photos are so big, lol! I shrunk them to small size before I posted them, but they post big! I don't know what to do about it.

@Bella, before you post the pic, click on it and see tiny tabs on each corner. You can drag the image smaller or bigger. If you've already posted it, click on the Edit button and re-size.

Pineapple Ice Tea Recipe

That is a recipe from scratch, but really, you can do something much simpler and just add in some pineapple juice to some existing iced tea...tastes great.

I like bagged tea also.

In America, the general food stores often have lower quality merchandise.

But we do have specialty shops that do offer high quality products.

My friend owned a cafe. The coffee and tea he served were very high quality.

A lot of the tea was in bulk, served with a tea ball strainer.


Actually, I should say that the tea and coffee his WIFE served was very high quality. Because she would punch me if I gave him much credit. She did 95% of the work at that place.


A large flood destroyed his cafe. But, before it did, it inspired many other people in NJ to open up tea rooms. And many are still in operation today. Prior to them opening up their tea room, there were very very very few tea rooms in NJ.

Tetley tea bags. Sometimes I will try another flavoured tea bag. I don't use loose tea but my older son does.

We use these compostable "tea sacks" for loose-leaf tea. We have teabags, but seldom use them. Looseleaf tastes so much better!

There are other kinds, we tried a couple of others but found these easiest to use.

Tea bags, and I take it with cream and sugar. Nothing better on a chilly winter day or for a sore throat.
