No More Tea Bags For Me!

SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2007/02/02, 09:02 PM Today I bought Yinhao Green tea in a green tin it also said Shan Wai Shan Tea on it and the rest is in Chinese. I opened and it was loose leaf tea that looked balled up like rodent turds. Taste great and there is something about it that pushes it over the ground-up bagged stuff. Anyhow it's even cheaper then most bagged teas as I paid $2.99 for a 8 oz can while a box of 100 packets is 6 to 7 oz. Also with tea bags I get 1 use out of them and this stuff is said to get 3 or more. To top it off BB1fit has said a few times in other posts that the loose leaf is best to get because it's gone through less processing and I can taste the truth in that! Ummmm Yummmyy Tea at it's finest! -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

There are a lot of online resources for good quality loose teas, but hard to find in the store. Even my local health food store, which used to sell bulk herbal teas, only sells bags now.

You can get 4 Asian sized uses but so far I have gotten 2 American sized uses which still beats they 1 serving per packet and the servings I use weigh the exact same as a packet does. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

Many good health food stores carry them. ============ Quoting from carivan: Tea bags only usually contain the powdery dust from the real leaves etc. ============= -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."
