Whole leaf would be better

[SeaMaiden]

Right now tea bags.

For me, I like powder...green tea matcha powder.

@goldensrbestI'm lucky, I have a Tea Lux tea shop close by that gets a brisk business so I get my tea from there.  I love that place!  Old building, Sturdy old wood and the ready to sell tea is stacked in shoebox shaped drawers that have wooden fronts to them.  The place really reminds me of Olivander' wand shop! I like blck tea the best.  Assam, Keemun,  Darjeeling occasionaly but I need to try a cup first as they seem to have a Lot of variation from season to season and location.  My go to cup is Yunnan.  There is a whole world of tea out there to sample and it's no more trouble to get a tea  steeper ( the kind that's like a cup that fits in your cup, not a tea ball)  than to use a teabag.  Enjoy your Cuppa cha!

Tea bags only for me. I like MarketSpice tea from Pike Place Market in Seattle. It is infused with orange and cinnamon oils. I don't care if it's a lesser quality of tea than loose tea, it's absolutely delicious the way it is, and I don't want to deal with the hassle of loose tea.

I add matcha green tea powder to my vanilla protein shakes. Yummy!

Tea bags only

I love PG Tips from the UK.  But now I'm thinking I should try it with loose leaves.

I have only used tea bags, and it is absolutely delicious with a little half and half and truvia (or a little sugar).  It's been my afternoon drink for about fifteen years.

It can be purchased at better grocery stores, Cost Plus World Market or

on Amazon directly from the UK.  I'm addicted.

Whole leaf for me - most of the time.

However, I will use Harney sachets for convenience or the rounds from Republic for quick green tea preparations.

Supposedly, they do something to regular tea bags. Bleach them or something?

Or, if I make iced tea, I am relegated to using the tea bags since I like store brand tea for no bitterness.

Whole leaf from "Upton Tea."

Usually order their English Breakfast and Darjeeling, but really, really enjoy their fruit teas for iced tea in summer.  Always gift my daughter with several of their green teas.
