    I thought loose leaf tea would cost me a lot more per cup, but upon further digging and research on retailers, it’s not much more or costs about the same depending on the type of tea you prefer. I have also enjoyed being able to really customize the strength and flavor of my tea lately!

      Yeah! I've used loose leaf tea for a long time and it is so much better for the environment and the taste is so much better.
