Cobblers. Just leave the bag in the cup for 5 minutes before taking it out.
Those that just dunk and go get a rubbish cup of tea because they do not give it time to steep. Same with leaves in the pot.

In nearly forty years of my life I can count on one hand the number of cups of tea that I've drank. Usually made in error when it's assumed that you drink tea and since everyone else is having that you will be as well. Horrible flowery stuff. Coffee all day long.
In over 50 years a day hasn’t gone by when I haven’t drunk at least one and usually several cups of tea. Good tea is like good wine, whisky, beer or coffee- one of life’s great yet simple pleasures. I avoid crap made with teabags in the cup just as I avoid cheap supermarket wine, junk quality blended whiskies, fizzy lager and crappy instant coffee.Originally Posted by Bonesey
HR Higgins is v good for both tea and coffee. Nice little cafe there too if you end up near Selfridges London https://www.hrhiggins.co.uk/
The For Life Stump teapot is good for loose tea and importantly pours well - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Forlife-Stu...s=stump+teapot
I endorse the comment about the "The For Life" teapot, I have them and they are perfect.
Must agree here, although I couldn't afford to drink the teas you enjoy on a regular basis. If I was allowed only one drink other than water, it would be tea.
I’ve discovered this brand in Sainsbury’s which is very good indeed, and less expensive than the stuff from specialist tea sellers. I recommend trying it. https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb...-leaf-tea-113g
Laudable, however why waste effort on tea-bags, when we should be banning Plastic bottles, plastic food packaging, disposable cups/plates/cutlery , plastic car body panels , micro beads, plastic shoes, the list is endless.
People need to prioritise their efforts to things that will make a real difference.
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

I'm all for banning disposable plastics and agree tea-bags wouldn't be on my priority list but plastic car body panels and such like will hardly make a big difference. Should have a lifetime of 10 years, relatively little of it and will probably be disposed of correctly. What about the rest of the plastic in a car?
Don't see that a big leaf is necessarily an advantage. A small leaf/bits will have a greater surface area and might be preferred (unless made of less choice clippings).

You can't beat what you like and looking at the picture on another site (link) that's a large leaf tea. Well worth a try.
It is certainly "less expensive than some of the stuff from specialist tea sellers"...note the slight amendment. To back that up, take a look as Drury's blended teas (link). Some of those are very much less than £4 / 100 g, eg their Breakfast BOP Large Leaf at £1.80 / 100 g.
It is a large leaf tea. An excellent breakfast tea.
