    Do i shit gold? Who the fuck buys tea in bags?

    You pay at least 10x as much and produce a ton of waste in the process…

      It really depends where you live, if all tea is imported bags are usually cheaper. 250g of budget loose leaf in Australia is $4 which is affordable and cheap, but you could also get a 100 pack of tea bags (approx 200g) for $2.50. So it’s technically cheaper to buy bags. But only slightly, and the quality difference does mean it’s often worth spending more for loose leaf.

        Yeah probably. It seems Germany is a coffee nation. Drinking tea at work im the odd one out. Most supermarkets only sell packets of the most popular brand of 20 or if your lucky 50. Loose tea from a tea shop is weirdly enough usually cheaper (per weight)…

      People in the US. I’d rather loose leaf but it’s either not the flavor I want or it’s more expensive than bags. Doesn’t help that it’s less common than bags either. And I’m just looking for some regular black tea. Nothing fancy.

        That’s interessting and kinda makes sense. The tea in tea bags is usually the lowest quality and should be cheaper. But in german supermarkets the teabags cost way more than loose tea and are even more expensive than tea from a tea shop. Might just be because most only sell expensive brands and don’t have no name bags tho
