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.

I personally find buying empty, unbleached paper teabags and filling them with loose leaf tea before brewing is the best of both worlds.
