Many will agree that tea in bags is very convenient. It is especially important to drink tea bags at work or on the road, when it is not very convenient to brew leaf tea in a teapot. Tea in bags is potentially harmful because of the content of artificial additives and dyes, however, if it is an expensive elite tea with large cut leaves of tea, then you can benefit from it.
On the benefits and harm of tea in bags
The most important and perhaps the only plus of tea in bags is that it is convenient to brew. Cheap teas do not carry any benefit, but only one harm. Typically tea bags are packed in tea bags, but this is not so bad, tea debris is exposed to rotting processes, and as a result, a large number of fungi and fluoride compounds accumulate in tea.
So, the main point, what is harmful tea in bags, is precisely the presence of a large percentage of fluoride compounds. These compounds negatively affect the work of the kidneys and liver, so you need to use cheap packet tea as little as possible.
If to speak about expensive grades of tea in bags, it is necessary first of all to look at its composition. It should not contain aromatic additives, only tea . The larger the tea leaf is cut, the better the tea.
It is necessary to pay attention to the tea bag, from which raw materials it is made. If it is ordinary paper glued together with glue, then it is necessary to think about whether such tea is useful in bags at all.
The fact is that the taste of glue you will not find, it is interrupted by added aromatic additives. This is the main cunning of such a drink.
Is green tea safe in sachets?
The benefits of green tea in bags are questionable. In cheap packs of such tea contains little, at best dust. The taste even remotely has nothing to do with freshly brewed green tea. If you are still accustomed to drinking tea in tea bags, then choose tea without aromatic additives and be sure to see what the tea bag is made of, preferably if it is not paper, but the so-called "pyramids" made of dense translucent material, it does not swell in water and does not give an unpleasant aftertaste to tea.
