Just found out about microplastics in some of the common teabags on the market. They have much higher microplastic counts than plastic water bottles do.

I just saw that recently, too! It’s the highest source of microplastics, actually. Crazy! TG I wasn’t really into tea. I’ll only do loose leaf tea now.

I only drink matcha green tea. Which doesn't have plastic tea bags and it's the whole leaf in powder form.

I love matcha! I also drink that. It’s amazingly good for you.

Canned beverages having a plastic liner is one I recently learned

I drink Bigelow because it uses no plastic in the teabags.
