So a coworker gave me a bunch of these “instant tea” cups to try where the tea is in a sachet attached to the bottom of the paper cup. Essentially you pour you water in and the tea is restained in the bottom…
I suppose they’re cool for convenience and it definitely makes it as easy one step process, but there’s no way to remove the leaf so I’ve been worried about over steeping. I’ve also been slow to drink through all the flavours he brought me to try because the quality has been… not great.
I suppose it’s not much off from the average off brand grocery store teabag. However, take this tea for instance; it’s a mix of mint and green tea and the flavours were simultaneously very muddy and coarse but also quite flat. Tasted very stale to me. I totally get the need for quick, accessible options for steeping but I’m just a little on the fence about this one. I suppose I see a few situations where it could be a good idea though, like say if you were camping maybe?
