Okay, this will show something pointed about my priorities, but here is the thing I just cannot wrap my head around about the whole American "teabagging" thing--

(Pause while I snerk, die, and gasp, "Words mean things!" while giggling like I'm 12.)

--yeah. Okay. Serious. The thing.

How the hell can people countenance wasting all that food?

Not just "in these tough economic times" (drink). In general. How do you waste that much food without batting an eye?

What do you mean "no longer"? For decades Americans didn't consume loose tea. I never even knew it was possible to brew tea that wasn't in little bags until I was thirty years old.

Loose tea has been making a comeback in recent years. Starbucks brought better-quality-than-Lipton tea to the mainstream, and in the past decade it's been a developing thing.

I love loose tea, but I only discovered it about five years ago. And while I love it, it does mean washing (well, rinsing) the teapot, which is an awkward shape. Some days I don't want the drama, just a single cuppa.

My compromise is the tea ball. Loose leaves, easy-to-clean object, single-serving convenience.
