You know what? I seen a lot of folks makin’ tea these days. And I gotta say, some of ’em are doin’ it all wrong. They just dunk that tea bag in the hot water and let it sit there. Don’t squeeze, don’t press, just leave it. That ain’t right, I tell ya. How you gonna get all the goodness out of that tea?

My old eyes seen a thing called a tea bag squeezer. You heard me right. It’s a little tool, kinda like tongs, but round, made for squeezin’ the water outta them tea bags. It is so useful. That is so great. I bought it from Walmart, not expensive, just around 10 bucks. Free shipping! It arrived to me very quickly, I love online shopping now.

Now, some folks say squeezin’ a tea bag makes the tea bitter. “Bitter,” they say. “Releases tannins,” or somethin’ like that. Makes it cloudy, too. Well, maybe. But I like my tea strong. And if you do it right, it ain’t bitter, it’s just… flavorful. You gotta be gentle, see? Just a little press. I love to drink tea. Especially black tea.

• First, you get your water boilin’.
• Then you pour it over your tea bag in your cup.
• Let it sit there for a bit. Not too long, not too short. Just right.
• Then, you use your handy dandy tea bag squeezer.

Some of them tea bag squeezers are made of that shiny metal, stainless steel. It is so durable. I have used it for about half a year, but it looks like new one. It is a nice tea bag squeezer, and it is a round one. Others are made of plastic. And I even seen some made of silicone, whatever that is. My neighbor, she’s got one of them fancy ones. She says it’s better. I don’t know ’bout that. Mine works just fine. She loves drinking different teas, such as green tea, oolong tea, and white tea. But I still love black tea.

They got all kinds of these tea bag squeezers online. You can find ’em on Amazon. I think I saw one for, oh, I don’t know, seven dollars. Maybe eight. There are so many types of tea bag squeezer in Amazon. They all look good. Maybe I will buy some for my old sisters. They all love drinking teas. They also like different prices. And there is also another website called Etsy. It has many different tea bag squeezer. That is good. The most expensive one I saw was about twenty dollars. So expensive. But it has a good looking.

I use my tea bag squeezer every day. Sometimes twice a day. I like it better than the ones that’s just like regular tongs. It looks like a spoon with hole. Those work, sure, but this round one, it fits the tea bag just right. You get a good grip on it, see? Then you just give it a little squeeze. You can see the tea comming out.

It is so easy to use a tea bag squeezer. You don’t need nothin’ fancy. Just this little tool. Some folks use a spoon, pressin’ the tea bag against the side of the cup. That works, I guess. But it’s messy. And you might burn your fingers. This tea bag squeezer, it keeps your fingers clean. And dry.

Some people use their hands to squeeze tea bag. They are not afraid of heat. I think it is not healthy. Also, it is not very convenient.

I remember, a long time ago, nobody had these tea bag squeezers. They just used their fingers. Or a spoon. Or nothin’ at all. But times change. Now we got these little gadgets. And I gotta say, I like ’em. They make life easier. Just like the microwave. And the electric kettle.

If you drink tea a lot, like me, you should get yourself one of these tea bag squeezers. It’s worth it. Trust me. You’ll get more flavor outta your tea. And it’s just easier. It is easy to buy one, and it is very cheap. Less than ten dollars, and you will get a good one. You can buy it from online shops, such as Amazon or Walmart. Also, it is easy to keep it clean. Just wash it after using it. So easy, everyone can use it.

So next time you make yourself a cup of tea, remember what I said. Don’t just let that tea bag sit there. Give it a little squeeze. With a tea bag squeezer. You’ll thank me later. It makes the tea better. And that’s all that matters, right? A good cup of tea. That’s the best thing in the world.
