What now? Why is anyone squeezing a tea bag? Is this some sort of catholic, I deserve to be miserable kind of thing? Why ruin your tea with fines and bitter tannins?

I'm too lazy to remove the teabag, what now Brits

It's disturbing to hear, but at least laziness is an ethos I can get behind.

But the ultimate question is, will this be a case where the username checks out?

££££££££££££££££££££££££££ As long as you're drinking it black (no milk), when you're finished, you can just pour on more hot water, and get a free drink. Your free drink will be slightly weaker than the previous one. You can then repeat this until all flavour is gone. ££££££££££££££££££££££££££

I like it because it reduces bin juice.

Welp my super catholic mom squeezes her teabags until not a single drop more comes out. It's awful. I never squeeze a teabag!

But I like the tannins!

Maybe I enjoy the misery.

Otherwise the teabags drips all over the surface!

If you must know, most of the time I don't use a teabag. I use loose leaf in a teapot. No squeezing required.
