Teapots are far superior, and fewer plastics.
But then you have more dirty dishes to stare at before the notion of personal responsibility pervades your every thought and feels so overwhelming that you retreat back to your group of equally depressed “friends” on discord who are only there to whinge about their own life problems, real or imagined, giving everyone the socialization equivalent of eating cake for dinner, hollow-carbs that feel momentarily satisfying but actually does you more harm than good.
Bags with pull strings are bullshit. Just use your spoon to press against the side of the mug. No need for a garotte.
I see a 4 panel and default to checking if it’s a Loss 😭
Every time I go to the grocery store, I notice the Tazo Tea shelf, and every single one is in stock except for the “Calm” one.

Honestly should be using loose leaf in a strainer. Three of the four problems magically change into new and different problems!
But the real reason is that (most of) those tea bags are made of plastic and you’re brewing up a tasty microplastic cup every time you use them.

I’ve ingested so much tea this way. I’m done for.
my buttocks crunches like a sun chips bag when i sit down. should i be worried?
Shoulda ordered “Earl Grey, cold.” my man
Dammit that’s not a gif!
Armus strikes again!
There were only like two brands in the UK that were plastic-free and one was Aldi’s range. Now it looks a little better
the real secret tech is to use a french press for tea.
The press acts as a filter for the leaves and all you need to do when you’re done is dump them out and rinse the pot and the lid. Absolute game changer
I’m going to have to try this next time I make tea.
I personally find buying empty, unbleached paper teabags and filling them with loose leaf tea before brewing is the best of both worlds.
Skill issue, t[ea]bh
I tie the tag to the handle loosely and take it out when I’m done drinking it
This is the Way. Doesn’t even really need to be a knot either.
Yeah it’s just a loop around the handle and then down
Make tea in a pot
Serenity now. Serenity now! Serenity NOW!!!

hate it when it’s one of those days
You mean every day?
It’s usually more of a constant dissatisfaction and low motivation than an ‘everything sucks forever’-feeling.
Speak for yourself. It’s both for me.
Damn, dude. I hope it gets better for you.
This was funnier as a video.
Yeah, I dont get it. There’s a ring under my glass almost every time I make tea. Its no big deal, wipe it up, and move on with your day.
You get less of a ring if you make sure the water goes into the cup.
Well, damn, I knew I was doing something wrong.
Why do you drink tea out of a glass
Bcz i drink cold tea like a civilized person…not hot tea like those damn yankies!
You what
Outside the US yankee==american. Inside the US yankee==north-eastern american. Iced tea is popular in the American South, where this guy is probably from

I’ve been trying to find the video since I posted the comment. I have it saved on my phone but don’t know how to post it
