Nice video! You must be an actor?

I'm right with you about the tea.

But, I did see a guy on PBS who had a tea shop in the U.K. He said he'd never touch a teabag. He said a teabag is just the dust. I think he may have a point, actually.

Nevertheless, I really don't have access to much besides teabags, and probably couldn't afford it if I did.

I think I've read somewhere that white tea --- since it's fermented even less than green --- is higher in antioxidants.
