Most people believe that the tag on a tea bag only serves as a "holder".

Of course, it is much more convenient to dip the bag into boiling water if you hold a paper square with your fingers instead of a thread.

But this is not the only purpose of the tag.

This label has another function that only a few people know about.

What is the tag on the tea bag for?

Think about how you brew tea in a tea bag.

You probably take the tag with your fingers, put the bag in a cup or mug, pour boiling water into the vessel and release the tag.

And then you're probably afraid that the thread will slip off and the tag will end up in the water.

But it is very easy to avoid such an outcome. Before pouring hot water into a cup, it is worth putting the label of the bag under the bottom of the container.

As a result, the bag will be very well fixed. The thread will definitely not end up in the tea completely. Thus, the bag will not have to be removed with a spoon.

In other words, the tag can act as a "fixer". Be sure to remember this life hack and use it next time. But be careful: before you start pulling out the bag, carefully lift the cup by the handle.
