You should NEVER leave tea bag in cup, here's why
Tea experts believe leaving tea bag makes the brew darker which naturally stain the teeth
(Web Desk) – Renowned food writer Nigella Lawson made a startling revelation recently when she advised everyone to never leave their tea bags in the cup while drinking. She believes leaving tea bag in the cup could make the tea stronger and increase the risk of staining the teeth.
Tea experts expressed similar views saying tea bags make the brew darker which naturally stain the drinker’s teeth. It also enhances the amount of caffeine in the cup which ultimately results in an increased caffeine in-take.
According to tea experts and food writers, tea bags should be kept in a tea cup for no more than five minutes. This will make a strong cup of tea and reduce the chances of staining one’s teeth.
But if you are not satisfied with the reason then it’s up to you how long you keep in the bag of tea leaves. Teeth often appear yellow due to large consumption of tea and it is a common concern for people visiting their dentist.
It was also mentioned by one of the expert that leaving tea bag in the cup affects its taste apart from drying the hot beverage.
