Is Loose tea healthier than tea bags?

Heidi Johannsen Stewart, founder of Bellocq Tea Atelier in Brooklyn, agrees: “The tea used in teabags is most often filled with fannings, or dust, not to mention the low quality. Choosing a loose-leaf tea of quality makes for a better cup and overall experience.”

Does tea get stronger the longer it steeps?

What is the difference between a tea strainer and tea infuser?

Infusers come in different shapes and sizes. Unlike tea strainers, tea infusers usually hold a certain amount of tea leaves, and release flavor from small holes. They are a good option for tea blends and flavored teas that you plan to steep only once and when you are making tea for one person only.

Should you remove the tea bag before drinking?
