teabag

Used by lazy people in the process of making a cup of tea. A fibourous and semi permeable piece of paper containing tea leaves, which, incidentally are very small and inferior when compared to loose leaf tea. Those wishing to enjoy the best flavour of tea ought not use teabags, rather the more appropriate brewing vessel called a tea pot. Usually add about 1 teaspoon per person then one extra, and pour on hot water, and allow to brew for 3-4 minutes. Teabags produce an inferior cup of tea, and interestingly enough, some claim that they can taste the residual flavours of the paper in the tea.
