Honestly should be using loose leaf in a strainer. Three of the four problems magically change into new and different problems!

But the real reason is that (most of) those tea bags are made of plastic and you’re brewing up a tasty microplastic cup every time you use them.

the real secret tech is to use a french press for tea.

The press acts as a filter for the leaves and all you need to do when you're done is dump them out and rinse the pot and the lid. Absolute game changer

I'm going to have to try this next time I make tea.
