Why You Shouldn't Squeeze a Tea Bag into Your Cup: Break This Habit
A tea bag is an ideal option for a quick cup of tea, especially when there is no time for a full tea party.
After the tea bag is removed from the drink, many people like to squeeze it into their cup.
However, it is strictly not recommended to do this, and there are reasons for this.
Rules for brewing tea bags
It is not for nothing that tea bag manufacturers place brewing instructions on the packaging.
In order to get a strong and aromatic drink, you should keep the bag in the cup for no more than 3 minutes. And if you think that the longer you keep it, the stronger the drink you will get, then you will only make it worse for your body.
The thing is that after 3 minutes, tannins start to seep into the water, making the tea more bitter. For the same reason, you shouldn't try to squeeze the teabag to the last drop.
