How long do you use tea bags?
Because we SHOULD reuse tea bags, but for how long? I've been using one for two days now. Is that bad? I might have used some for longer before. Advice!
Answers:
as a tea lover, i use one teabag a cup. sometimes i reuse the teabag, but i reuse the teabag only once--the taste isn't as strong and fresh as the first time.
some teabags have lots of tea leaves while others have lesser. those with a lot i will reuse. those with lesser i use only once. also if i drink milk tea, i tend not to reuse my teabag. and if i buy organic tea, i tend to reuse the teabag because it is more costly :D
i suggest you just reuse your teabags once. reusing it is not bad, it's just that the taste gets "watered down" each time it's blanched in hot water. if you're on a tight budget, go ahead and reuse. if you're not but just want to use teabags to their fullest, you can reuse it as long as you don't mind the mildness of the tea the second round. actually reusing teabags is all up to you--if you want it, do it. if you don't want, throw it. just that once you reuse once, most of the tea's essence has already gone so you may be drinking some tasteless tea... :D
