    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.

    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.

      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 personally find buying empty, unbleached paper teabags and filling them with loose leaf tea before brewing is the best of both worlds.

        It’s usually more of a constant dissatisfaction and low motivation than an ‘everything sucks forever’-feeling.

      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.
