    I don’t drink enough, or am I considerate enough to jog out for a bag of raw tea. That, and locally where i am, loose leaf tea costs a premium, and harder to find.

    After seeing this about the waste, I’ve been thinking there was no real downside to tea bags aside from the production and waste value of packaging. Like is the tea biodegradable? The bag and string itself? Kinda always struck me as “environmentally” safe to dispose of.

    Not like a cigarette butts, or old school styrofoam and pantyhose that gets tossed and isn’t going to go away and makes matters worse in a lot of cases. Already kinda understood those. Teabags, kinda under my radar i guess?
