What now? Why is anyone squeezing a tea bag? Is this some sort of catholic, I deserve to be miserable kind of thing? Why ruin your tea with fines and bitter tannins?

I like it because it reduces bin juice.

Welp my super catholic mom squeezes her teabags until not a single drop more comes out. It's awful. I never squeeze a teabag!

But I like the tannins!

Maybe I enjoy the misery.

Otherwise the teabags drips all over the surface!

If you must know, most of the time I don't use a teabag. I use loose leaf in a teapot. No squeezing required.
