Your loose leaf are going to be the most fresh and intact. Mostly what goes into the tea bags is what they call "sweepings". "Sweepings" are the bits and pieces, dust debris left over after processing the loose leaf.
I once had a waiter charge me for 2 drinks when I changed from a tea to root beer because their brew was too old for my tastes and I couldn’t drink it. He then proceeded to argue with me.
Oh lol I'm guilty of draining out my tea bags haha 😂 - but it doesn't bother me 😂.... Lately I've been moving on to more whole leaves and phasing out tea bags that I already have.
That's one thing that surprised me ; I did not know green tea, black tea, and white tea were from the same tea leaves (lol if you don't like black tea at rolling boil then don't do it man). That's kind of free advice-make it how you like it these are general rules.
I've had terrible experiences with ordering tea at cafés, so I usually drink hot chocolate there since I don't like coffee. The worst thing that happened to me was when I ordered jasmine tea that ended up tasting extremely bitter because it was boiled too hot and had probably been steeping way too long... If they have it on the menu they should be able to prepare it correctly, but unfortunately they don't. I'm from Austria btw so this is a problem in many countries I assume 😅
Thank you so much for this video! I'll definitely check out the other ones in the description. I've always liked tea, but I've never had loose leaf ones. One of my best friends bought be a whole lot of loose leaf teas for my birthday, and I don't know where to start since I've always stuck to tea bags. Starting out seems really exciting tho!
How do you not have more subscribers?! I just found your channel and I’m loving it. I bought some teas from Harney and Sons but I got the bags because I was afraid of brewing loose tea. If I cut open the bag and brew it the loose leaf way you recommend will it come out well? Thanks 🤗
Miss Mary Lu I did it this morning with my Tower of London blend. It was sooo good! And I actually realized all the bags are those microplastic kind so I cut them all open and will only brew them loose. Thank you again 🥰
Do you have any more tea questions?
Do you like mate?
@@simonetaddia459 hmmm i don't think i've ever tried yerba mate! it's on my list :D

Restaurant tea fear is definitely something I understand xD lol I’m always excited to try something new and worried that I won’t like it
Omg YES! I'M NOT ALONE 😹😹😹

@@BardicGifts OOF
I only drink herbal tea when I don't make It myself. I find it is harder to mess up a chamomile tea versus a Black tea.

What can I do if I i want to get into tea but to me it tastes bitter even if its just the slightest I gag I have the urge to vomit?
Try different kinds of herbal tea. They can also be consumed cold. They're an entirely different product from 'tea-leaf' tea.

Revisiting this video again lol I wish I could give it another thumbs up😊

Aw, welcome! Yes, cutting open a tea bag and brewing it loose works beautifully 💖 let me know how it goes!

@@AnaPie896 you're welcome 😊💖 yay! I'm so glad everything worked out!
It took my water 11 minutes to cool from 212 to 175 in a stainless steel kettle for green tea lol.
