    Bagged tea you get at the grocery store does suck, it either has no flavor or it’s all artificially enhanced. Loose leaf is where it’s at.

      This.

      Although here you also have to buy from abroad. All local companies just repack the same bulk garbage with dried fruit, artificial flavouring or both. This coffee drinking nation doesn’t know any better and only few bother to import anything better.

        You don’t even need to go for super special, expensive, high grade stuff imo. As long as it’s not shavings, i.e. marketed, neatly packaged garbage, that already makes a huge difference at not much of a price increase. If you can see actual leaves or pieces of leaves you know it’s going to be at least decent.
