Not saying it tastes better, depending on tea it's only a marginal difference but it does taste cleaner and you can control the strength of the flavor much more easily

For some reason black tea difference is marginal but oolong is night and day ( despite both being similar oxidation )

Green tea teabag taste horrible tbh but best teabag i've ever had for sencha was osk and it is pretty good

wtf u mean neglibile nigga Like I know what that means
The "toxicity" is too insignificant for me to consider stopping. Most things we do in our daily lives has a risk and its up to you to decide whether the risk outweighs the pros.

I do many things that are toxic still like driving a car or eating seafood, it's life

This probably, but I was more confused as to why the jump in quality wa should different between varying tea types.

Black tea is highly oxidised so maybe it doesn't matter but for lighter teas like the range from white to green, I think loose leaf is a must for a quality brew, if you care about that of course.

Of course now I cut out all tea bags due to the microplastics and chemicals.
