Teabags in prepacked tea annoying the crap out of me, why can't they be paper it is literally just as good.

I buy my tea loose and then spoon it into unbleached paper tea bags. I find this a good compromise between prepacked tea bags and use a reusable steeper (which i hate cleaning out and rarely remember to do so.

I use a steel tea stainer, easy to clean with a metal scrubber or citric acid if it's really bad.
