Does it bother you when tea bags arent individually wrapped? I guess its more eco-friendly that way, but I feel like it loses flavor if the tea bags are just sitting there
-
I think that as long as they are stored in an airtight container, it's okay.
-
@MaisyMay: Yeah I probably should do that instead of just leaving them in the box

We bought loose leaf camomile and put it into little bags we bought...
-
@mrbee: little tea bags? Where do you buy loose chamomile leaves?
-
@Mrsbells: they're individual tea filters, here's our tea setup!
We bought the tea at a local coffee/tea place...

@mrbee: So cool! will have to look into this

I am a bit of a tea snob and only drink loose-leaf. So long as it's stored in an air-tight bag or container it should be fine

We buy loose-leaf tea as well and use these from Ikea. They're really convenient and you can just pop them into the dishwasher for cleaning. Ooh and they double as a powdered sugar sift for pancakes and desserts!

I love loose leaf tea, but drink tea from tea bags at work because it's less fussing around. I have those tea bags for loose leaf tea as well! Those are awesome! I like Mighty Leaf tea and how they bag up their tea in the light pyramids, so it's akin to drinking loose leaf tea.

I love loose leaf tea and buy unbagged teas and I just make sure it's in an air tight container.

I usually only buy loose leaf tea and store it in airtight containers, so this doesn't really bother me.

you mean loose-leaf?! It has such a better flavor and I love it. I have a ceramic teapot that has an infuser, I boil water, pour it in and let it steep for about 10 minutes, then remove the infuser. If there are leftover bits of tea, I strain it with a small tea colander. Delicious.
I buy mine from the bulk herb store

Another loose leaf tea fan over here...the only time I drink bagged tea is if it's iced Lipton's.
If I'm the only one drinking, I just use a small ceramic cup with a lid. no filter needed. If I'm serving others, I use a French Press pot.
Drinking loose teas opens up a whole other world of delicious!

I have loose leaf tea -- love it. And I use a little tea ball that I bought at Container store years ago. It's like the picture @Crumbs posted but it has a little chain attached to it.
