    I am going to switch to loose tea in response to this thread, I always have had some around for my Sunday morning 'proper' cup of tea so I've tea pots, strainers and inset filters aplenty. No good reason not to go for luxury everyday image

  • Yes I already have loose tea my local Sainsburys stocks several. I have been known to put a teabag in a my small pot anyway  so I really should switch over fully too. It is still a faf cleaning out the loose leaves though, but a bit of effort worthwhile and the tea tastes better too.

    I keep a small bucket in the back porch for compost heap stuff, I find it easier to empty the pot, swill out with a drop of water than dry out the bags and rip them open.

  • I always go shopping with a rucksack.  We can't easily drive to the house and there are 50 steps to climb, so it makes sense...  

    I'm going to look for loose tea tomorrow.  Thanks for the prompt, people!  image

    Me too, Lyn. I have a holey laundry basket outside the back door and all compostable stuff, that is of no interest to vermin, is lobbed into it.
