I hate tea bags. I've also heard tell that the smaller broken leaves that get smashed up during processing go into the TB's and the bigger leaves are saved for lose leaf and bigger leaves give better flavour. Tea bags are on par with instant coffee in my books. Leave it for the astronauts. Rail away with my support comrade. I hate tea bags.

Although I admit to using our very modest micro to heat up tea and coffee. AG, Sounds like you need a tea cozy. Although I admit to using our very modest micro to heat up tea and coffee.

Plus by the time the tea brews, I have to reheat it in the microwave to get it piping hot again (tea must be hot hot hot!). Coffee bags, now they're a travesty. Made from used coffee grounds I'm sure. I love good strong tea but I’m pathetically lazy too.

And it's not that much effort to make a pot. I tend to shop in the local Melbourne markets so don't have to deal with that supermarket packaging hassle. In one local supermarket (when I was buying bog roll and bleach) I noticed they have this new initiative to present fruit in the boxes as used by suppliers. But I can't stay in the shop long withourt getting angry (about the teabags). Hi Rachel, you’re right it is dusty like they fill the bags from factory sweepings.

To save you an extra few minutes you'd use a teabag? Clearly for people who don't really like tea. They are vile and seem to have a slightly dusty flavour (to me anyway). As for superflous packaging,why do I need plastic moulded packaging to hold pears or baking potatoes? It seems insane. Why all that plastic which degrades my fruit and vegetables? (I know it makes things easier for the supermarkets to transport but perhaps it should be harder). I wish I had the courage to just rip it all away as I'm bagging up at the supermarket checkout and abandon it then and there. Sadly I'm too much of a wimp. It's not that I'm worried about the supermarket, it's the angry people in the queue behind me! I’m with you on the teabag front. To save you an extra few minutes you’d use a teabag?
