Tea bags are designed to simplify and speed up the brewing process at work, on the road or in other conditions that are far from comfortable.

The new product has caught on and many are already abandoning the usual teapots, preferring to save time on washing dishes by using tea bags.

But even here you need to know something about the brewing process.

Bag material

Professionals believe that the shape and material of the tea bag should be taken into account.

The water temperature also matters.

According to experts, nylon and silk best convey the taste and aroma of the drink.

Paper bags can distort the properties of the drink.

Bag shape

It is no coincidence that manufacturers have switched from flat bags to pyramid ones.

It is believed that the tea has a richer taste.

How long to hold

This is the most important point. But it is also important to understand that the bag must be dipped into the water and left for a while, not dipped.

By lowering and removing it, you can simply color the water the color of the tea, but it is unlikely that you will be able to convey the taste and aroma.

As for time, it is enough to keep the tea pyramid for 3-5 minutes.

The bag can be left for 3-4 minutes, and if you need to speed up the process, stir the contents of the cup with a spoon.

But this is only one of the conditions. Remember that much depends on the type and variety of tea, as well as individual preferences, because some people like light tea, and some like strong tea.
