 Welcome to the tea of the day today. I got a nice girl gray with a touch of lavender tossed in there. Ah Yeah, that's good tea so the reason I'm doing this is I mainly want to talk about loose leaf versus bag tea today and The main problem is when you're talking about Bag teas is you're losing a lot of the big things that you want out of your tea Which is the antioxidants the essential oils even the aroma and the taste are ruined when you get a broken down tea bag that has more of what's called dust and fanning in it and What happens is that it also Releases more of the tannins when you have these broken down tea is in the bit and in teabags And it actually creates more of an astringent bitter taste So it's like all of these different things that are not nearly as good Also one other thing that happens and you don't realize is with some of the big tea companies They actually add sugar and other flavorings in there as well to help offset these problems So you really got to be careful. There are some tea bag brands out there that have the good loose leaf stuff in them But they're very hard to find so be careful loose leaf tea
