My Choice Is Loose Leaf Over Bag Tea. Why?



Because tea bags might cause health hazard. Why is that? Apparently the cause is more on the packaging, a small paper bag that turned out to contain chlorine weak fibrous, that can cause infertility, mental retardation and cancer! In order to better understand it, we will discuss about the tea bag is an outline only.

The main difference between loose teas and bag teas are the size of the leaves. Tea bags contain only the
dust and fanning's of tea. These are considered to be the very lowest grade of tea.Whole tea leaves are often rolled and shaped during processing. When brewed in water the leaves unfurl and expand to release their essential oils. The flavor is allowed to develop in the cup.

In the market, there are 3 types of tea are usually sold, tea bag tea leaves or brewed tea powder, tea powder and instant (teabags, leaves and powder). Each type of tea can be selected according the need. Before taking it, make sure the date of expiry! Tea bags wrapped in a kind of heat-resistant soft porous paper, it’s well known for all tea lovers.

Very modern and practical. Surely you often drink tea because understanding the benefits of tea for the body. For example, red tea for relaxation, black tea for digestion, or green tea for slimming. When about to drink tea, do you steep the tea bags long? If so, be careful. Maybe you love to steep the tea long because the think of longer a tea bag in hot water, many benefits of tea left in the drink tea because tea increasingly concentrated.

Tea bags are usually made by paper
In general, paper made with pulp (pulp), which is made of wood, the pulp is dark brown. So that the fiber pulp is white, a type of chemicals from chlorine compounds in high concentrated are made to bleach the pulp. Unfortunately in the process, chlorine is still in paper products, because very high neutralization cost of such paper, then it is used as tea bags.

In the paper industry, the chlorine is usually used as insecticides, disinfectants, preservatives, cleaning products and whiten the paper, which is then used to make fabrics, diapers, clothing and so on, sticks of wood, also available, so it is in China, chopsticks this type of used banned substances. Why? On the basis of the investigation, apparently there is a link between the consumption of chlorine in the body with male infertility, birth defects, mental retardation and cancer.

So, What’s the solution?
First, not too long to brew the tea bags in hot water, should be less than 3 minutes

Second, avoid using tea bags, on the contrary, as before, used brewed tea or tea pots, if you want more fun again, perform rituals such as drinking tea in China, Korea or Japan, to soothe and enhance respect for others, as basically, ritual Tea drinking is a tribute to those who served, and to give honor to those who were given the opportunity to serve, by pouring the tea into the bowl in front of his colleagues.

Third, if teabags really needed, use the pyramid shape of the tea bags that gives the tea more room to move around, which means better cuppa tea and lessen brewing time.

Protect your family from health problems in the future. Avoid tea bags that contain chlorine.
