They have it at Walmart, so I tried it and it wasn't very good. Get some pic related off of the Amazon jew. Much better. Davidson's and Positively Tea are also not bad

Well yeah, just about any loose leaf tea is going to be noticeably better than teabags. They put the really rubbish tea in those.

How is tea magically better if not contained in a sachet? Explain scientifically. I'll wait.

Bagged tea is the most common so it has to be cheap, quality be damned. Nobody drinking bagged tea would open the bag nor would they care that the leaf is basically dust inside.

I only drink bagged tea and I know this.

>>9923859
You've misunderstood, anon. The tea that goes into bagged tea is poor quality tea in the first place, mostly fannings, which are literally the rejected left over crumbs from processing high grade tea. The reason they do this is because it's cheap and it being small bits already produces a strong brew quickly, which is really all the people drinking tea from bags usually want. Plus, once you've added milk and sugar, you can't really taste the difference anyway.

>> No.9923933

Also, just to be super clear, I am not saying all loose leaf tea is good quality, but the average loose leaf tea is better than the average teabag.

Please compare the amount of high grade tea produced to teabags produced, and then explain how this math works.

Yeah, if you're not able to even name countries of origin on the label it's not a premium tea. Hope you didn't pay too much anon.

The same way that a cow produces 150-200 pounds of hamburger and 10 pounds of tenderloin. When the target product is good enough and people will pay for the waste, you can justify a lot of waste.

German here. Do humans really put milk in their tea? I only put sugar/honey in for earl grey and it's the fucking best.
