Although this hack got a lot of love online, not everyone is on board with tea bags. Some users reported that they may leave microplastics in your drink. “Been doing this for years,” one person commented, while another said, “Nice hack, sir.” Some took a more critical view: “Not environmentally friendly, secondly, not good for health,” said one. Another user warned, “Avoid tea bags altogether, bro. Studies show they release millions of microplastic particles.”
On the other hand, some tea lovers had their own tips. One suggested, “Never squeeze the bag! This makes the tea very bitter.” Someone else said, “The best way: put the tea bag in first, then pour water over it.”
