Teabags ...

Is it just me or teabags actually lose their oomph after a few days :hmmm:

They just dont taste the same , even though they may be kept in airtight jars …

Has anyone here felt the same? if yes , how to ensure they remain fresh for longer? :konfused:

Re: Teabags ...

Re: Teabags ...

Re: Teabags …

Hmm well you can try using loose tea with a tea-ball sieve like this

or a teapot with built-in sieve like this for brewing

I use the tea-ball on left in the first pic and like the result.

Ofcourse you can just use the traditional teapot as well, the above are just for added convenience

Re: Teabags ...

**i never experienced any such degradation in the quality of teabags over a period of time. i keep them in an airtight container and AWAY from the stove. a few tips that i can give you is that:

-store teabags in airtight GLASS containers
-do NOT buy family packs [216 or 144 bags], buy 36 or 72 bag packs. and open them when needed
-do NOT store for them for more than a month
-always look for EXPIRY dates...especially if they are imported from India/Pakistan**
-always buy QUALITY brand name teas

Re: Teabags ...

ah so that's what it's called. I'd like to try it if I come across it sometime. And isn't it nice, the control you have over the strength of your tea... for a person like me for whom one teabag is too less and 2 teabags, too strong.

lol, inspiron.
