When you make tea from teabags, do you squeeze the teabag before you take it out?

Question

I usually don't, but if I'm missing out, then I might start! what's your opinion you avid tea drinkers out there!

Answer 1

Yes, always. Get maximum flavour out of the bag!

However, if the tea is close to stewing be wary of doing this.

Answer 2

Me,i'll just take the teabag out.I don't do squeezing.Try leaving the teabag a lil longer if u feel that you r missing out on the colour and the flavour.That should do the trick.

Answer 3

As a matter of fact, I just fixed me some Green Tea, and yes I DID SQUEEZE THE TEA BAG BEFORE I TOOK IT OUT!!!!

Answer 4

I prefer loose tea in a ball for optimal taste impact and never squeeze the bag it imparts bitter oils back into the tea that the filter trapped.

Answer 5

I just take the tea bag out, I don't wanna squeeze it because it might get too strong.

Answer 6

I squeeze mine. I like to have it all. People say if you squeeze the rest out it makes the tea bitter but I have never tasted bitterness in my tea by squeezing it.

Answer 7

I do, You can visibly see your drink become darker with the herbs in the tea. Taste wise I don't put sweeteners in my tea so I like the flavor as strong as possible.

Answer 8

i always squeeze it just to get that last drop of flavor. I'm not sure how much of a difference it really makes though. Try it sometime!

Answer 9

squeeze away thats my choice thats where all the taste is

Answer 10

I do, but I don't think its required. Matter of preference
