Yorkshire tea is the only English tea allowed in my house.

    Sadly I learned the Yorkshire tea bags release microplastics along side all other major tea brands. (Yorkshire tea was super solid and my go to till that point)

    Switched to loose leaf and haven’t looked back.

      loose leaf ftw ;)

      I have one box of tea bags, in case someone really insist on using that but we buy our tea in bulk from Dammann Frères, a well-known and rather old brand here in Paris. It’s kinda expensive, but so effing worth it. Just thinking about it makes me want to prepare a cup of tea for my spouse and I ;)

      Honestly, even cheap loose leaf tea is better than whatever brand bagged tea. It’s the preparation that makes a huge difference.
