When teabags came out first my mother thought they were a stupid idea, and made terrible tea. But then I found that she was tearing them open and tipping the contents into a teapot.

Tea leaves that you put into a pot with a spoon rather than teabags probably make better tea, but teabags are OK if you heat the pot or the cup and use boiling water. And the tea should look a bit red when it's mashed (or "brewed"). Every time I have a good cup of tea I'm amazed I ever drink coffee - but in fact being a lazy soul, in need of caffeine fixes from time to time, I drink more instant coffee than anything else. And the best song I know about anything non-alcoholic is A PROPER CUP OF COFFEE
