I agree totally. Loose tea is the best. Whether you like green, white, black, or red tea...loose is by far the superior in quality and taste. You have to play around with the amount of loose tea you like but as it is, you're already spending a lot of money on boxes of tea bags that don't taste great. It may be an urban myth but I've heard that the tea in tea bags is the leavings of the tea making process. The better tea is kept loose. And when you think about it, most of the world drinks loose tea!
