The difference, for me at least, is only partly to do with the tea they put in the bags. I expect everyone knows now about the fact that some people have many more taste buds than others so can detect flavour differences or minimal flavours better than others. I think my daughter and I probably have as many as you can get while my husband and son have a lot less. When I drink tea bag tea, I can taste the tea bag.

Btw, I didn't leave the thread you notice. I checked to see if the idiot was still posting and came back when I found he wasn't. Can't believe anyone can be sad enough to turn a friendly discussion on tea into a platform for abuse and racism, which is what it amounted to
