    Imagine paying and polluting to ship water around the planet because you’re too lazy to put a couple dry leaves in a cup and wait a few minutes.

      Most bottling is done regionally for this reason. Though I do agree! I got my sink to disppense water hot enough for tea, I just fill a cup, add honey/sugar, and a baggy of flower, leaves and/or stems.

        I thought hot tap water was bad for you? Of course my mom told me that back in 80s along with some other stuff that turned out to be not so true lol

          They probably mean the extra tap you add that heats cold water for drinks, rather than the central hot water tank line

          It’s well water I manage myself (test and filter). I could see some tap waters being worse then others though! Though really anyone can test their water for pretty cheap.

              Lol fair enough. I grew up with the food pyramid and only recently learned that actually eating most of my calories from bread isn’t better then from mostly beens and veggies

      It’s green tea! People don’t know how to brew it! Don’t use boiling hot water or it’ll taste like ass!

      You want hot water, not boiling water. I just use a tea kettle that has a setting for each type of tea.
