Everything you mentioned is important. I quit tea bags years ago, because 1) I’m not in a rush to brew tea and 2) I heard some of the teabags contained plastics.
Now I buy only quality loose tea, mostly oolongs from Taiwan, and every sip reminds me how glad I am that I discovered loose tea. 😁❤️
I bought a pot that warms up the water and has a tea filter in it. I bought some jasmine loose leaf tea which is fine but sometimes I think it smells like urine lol. I need to find a better tea but I bought a huge bag. I ended up back on coffee. lol
I found a really great all-natural South African Rooibos that we LOVE! In fact, we made it just this morning (our favorite home-blend) mixed with Assam Banaspaty (black) and cinnamon. We call it "Red Black & Cinnamon".
You'd also like the "South African Honeybush"... it's a milder cousin of Rooibos and has a mild sweet flavor. Great as a night-cap herbal by itself, or brew it and serve cold in the summer!
And sadly tea bags are almost all using plastic or plastic fabric now. More microplastics ? No thanks
I need to look into this! Thanks @James Curley

That’s awesome @Jackieone! I love Oolong tea as well! I should look further into tea bags…. thanks for the idea.
Keep doing what you’re doing, I enjoy reading your posts. 😁
Thank you!! ❤️

Well you’ve just taken the shine off of a couple of herbal teas I like. They have too much scent to be natural and I already knew that.
My favorite is rooibos tea and it’s super hard to find in my part of Canada. Only a couple of specialty shops that I’ve found carry it loose.

Here's the link (Rooibos): https://amzn.to/43qr9Uh
And it's only < $13 per pound!
Davidsons Teas is our favorite brand, but you still have to read the labels on some of the latest trendy flavors.
Thanks for the tip! I never looked on Amazon. I’ll order some
oh my gosh, you're gonna LOVE it.
