Tea Bags vs. Loose Leaf :the Steep truth.

Tea bags vs. Loose leaf....

  The Steep Truth: Let’s spill the tea—literally. If you’re still dunking those mass-produced tea bags into your cup like it’s 1999, we need to talk. While convenient, many commercial tea bags come with some uninvited extras: microplastics, nano plastics, and even bleach. Yikes.

What’s Lurking in Your Tea Bag?

• Plastic Mesh Bags – Those silky pyramid bags? Not so silky. Many are made with nylon or PET (yep, like plastic bottles), which release thousands of microplastics into your tea. A hot cup of plastic soup, anyone?

• Bleached Paper Bags – Some traditional paper bags are treated with chlorine bleach to look pretty. Because nothing says “relaxing herbal infusion” like traces of toxic chemicals.

• Glue & Staples – Because apparently, some companies think your chamomile needs hardware.

Why Loose Leaf is the Real MVP

• Pure, Unaltered Goodness – No plastic, no bleach, just real tea leaves doing their thing.

• Better Flavor & Aroma – Loose leaf tea isn’t crushed into oblivion like bagged tea, so it retains essential oils and nutrients for a richer, more flavorful experience.

• Eco-Friendly & Sustainable – Less waste, no plastic, and you look very sophisticated brewing it.

So next time you reach for that tea bag, ask yourself: Do I want tea or a side of microplastics? Choose loose leaf. Your body (and the planet) will thank you.
