Are Tea Bags Harmful?

There’s a lot of debate about the safety of tea bags. This is a very common and frequently asked question that many tea drinkers have asked themselves, and there is no easy answer. The truth is that it depends on the tea bag itself, as not all tea bags are created equal.

When it comes to tea bags, the main thing to consider is what type of material it is made out of. Generally speaking, paper tea bags are considered safe. This is because paper is usually made out of a type of material that is designed to be biodegradable and not contain potentially harmful chemicals. However, it is always important to check the label of the tea bag to make sure it is indeed made out of biodegradable paper.

On the other hand, some tea bags are made out of plastic or nylon. These are generally considered to be less safe, as they can potentially leach chemicals into the tea when steeping and that can be harmful if consumed. Therefore, it is important to always check the label of the tea bag to make sure it is not made out of a plastic or nylon material.

In addition to the material, it is important to also consider how the tea bag is made. Some tea bags are sewn together with a plastic thread, which can also potentially leach chemicals into the tea. Therefore, it is important to check the label of the tea bag to make sure it is not sewn together with a plastic thread.

Overall, it is important to be aware of what type of tea bag you are using and to check the label carefully. While paper tea bags are generally considered safe, it is always best to be aware of the potential risks associated with plastic or nylon tea bags. Doing your due diligence and examining the label of the tea bag can help you make an informed decision and reduce your risk of harmful chemicals leaching into your tea.

Tea bags are also generally considered safe as the tea bags actually help reduce the amount of waste otherwise created by loose-leaf tea. A single tea bag can be used multiple times(depending upon the type of tea and steeping time), which means you’re not throwing away a lot of tea leaves after each cup.

I visited @momostreetindia in Virar yesterday for I visited @momostreetindia in Virar yesterday for lunch and here's how my experience about the food was.

Let's start with the veg steamed momos. These were absolutely delicious! The momos had a perfectly steamed outer layer, which was soft and delicate. The filling was a perfect mix of vegetables and spices that were flavorful and not too overpowering. The accompanying dipping sauce was also tasty and complemented the momos well.

Moving on to the chicken crispy momos, these were also fantastic. The momos were crispy on the outside, and the chicken filling was juicy and good. The combination of the crispy exterior and the tender filling made for an excellent texture. 

Next up were the veg spring rolls, and I must say, these were some of the best I've had! The rolls were crispy on the outside and had a delicious mix of veggies inside. 

Last but not least were the tandoori fries. These were a delightful twist on classic fries! The tandoori seasoning on the fries was just the right amount, giving them a nice kick of flavor without being too spicy. 

This outlet in Virar is a takeaway place but there are a few chairs kept outside if you want to enjoy your food there. The service is a bit slow as they prepare the food fresh in front of you.

Upgrade your wellness routine with a sip of green Upgrade your wellness routine with a sip of green goodness! 🍵💚 

Matcha is a finely ground powder made from green tea leaves. It's known for its vibrant green color and unique flavor profile, but it's also a powerhouse when it comes to health benefits.

One of the biggest benefits of matcha is its high concentration of antioxidants. These powerful compounds help protect your body from free radicals and oxidative stress, which can contribute to a wide range of chronic diseases.

Matcha also contains a unique amino acid called L-theanine, which is known for its calming effects on the mind and body. This makes matcha a great choice for those looking for a natural way to reduce stress and anxiety.

To enjoy the benefits of matcha in a refreshing way during summer, try out Matcha Lemonade recipe!

Simply combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, water, ice cubes, sifted matcha, and you'll have a delicious and healthy drink that's perfect for a warm day 🌞. 

Sip and enjoy the many benefits of this green superfood!

I had the pleasure of dining at Kerala Cafe today I had the pleasure of dining at Kerala Cafe today and I must say, the food was absolutely divine and comforting! 

The Kerala Style Spinach Soup was a perfect start to the meal - it was flavorful and the crunch of ginger was so good. 

The Thattukada Samosa was a very delicious onion stuffing samosa. Though not something I would recommend to have. My most favourite appetizer here is the Potatoe 65.

The Veg Unlimited Meal was a real standout - the combination of different curries and matta rice made for a satisfying and hearty meal. Their flavors are so good that it will leave you wanting for more.

And to top it off, the Tender Coconut Icecream was simply amazing - the perfect blend of sweetness and creaminess. 

Overall, I highly recommend Kerala Cafe for anyone looking to experience authentic and delicious South Indian cuisine!
