Many people consider tea in bags to be of poor quality and are afraid to drink it.

However, experts say there is nothing harmful in tea bags.

Three Misconceptions About Tea Bags

Firstly, the claim that tea bags are made from industrial waste is completely unfounded.

This myth arose because small fraction leaves are used in making tea bags. And they are used because this is the most convenient format for quick brewing.

Besides, there is no point in packing a large sheet: once it is in a tight box, it will break anyway.

The second myth is a large number of dyes. Many people notice that when brewing tea bags, the water quickly darkens and the cup is heavily colored.

However, this is not due to dyes (which are not present in tea bags), but again due to the use of finely ground tea, which brews faster. And we should not forget that tea itself is a good dye.

There is also an opinion that tea bags taste worse than loose leaf tea. But even very high-quality loose leaf tea will taste bad if you do not follow the preparation technology.

It is extremely important to use quality water and let the drink steep for at least three minutes. Also, do not reuse the tea bag.
