Teas to Try During Your Next Tea Party

Tea Facts

You might think twice before squeezing the rest of the liquid your teabag holds, into your cup of tea. Not only do you risk breakage and causing the loose tea to fall into your tea, squeezing a teabag can release something called tannins which are trapped in the tea leaves. When they are squeezed, they make the tea taste bitter and acidic. A better alternative is to allow the bag to drain naturally or just set it aside in another dish or container.
