        Also those fancy teabags are plastic and shed particles into boiling water trivially

            There is an improvement. A metal tea steeper and loose leaf tea.

              sometimes that leaves little particles of leaves tho

              which, like, doesn't matter at all honestly, but i need to justify using up the 1000 or so paper bags i still have SOMEHOW

                Do a quick wash of your leaves with hot but not boiling water. Half fill tea cup, pour water out immediately, then proceed as normal.

                Or just drink tea like my father in law without a strainer and sip through your teeth.
