In addition to coffee daily, I also drink an Irish Breakfast tea and usually 1-2 cups of various others later in the day as well (this winter season I’ll do mint, chamomile, probably Rooibos or Oolong, whatever I happen to find for cheap).

An electric water kettle was given to me as a gift (but they are cheap anyway I thought?) and it’s so super fast and easy. I don’t really know what I’m doing - just pour, steep for ~1 min, then drink, repeat:-). For breakfast tea I add creamer, for the rest nothing. I’m sure I could do more like put those large packs in something airtight.

What do you rock, in terms of tea🍵?

    Yeah, the bag in does lose some of the strength of the bergamot for earl grey, but other than that, the difference isn’t enough to notice in bagged teas. Like, maybe if you were blind tasting side by side, you could tell that the same tea wasn’t the same microwave vs normal steep, but I couldn’t tell which was which. The best I can describe is that the microwave is a little less tannic, but a little less floral as well
