Why do some teas come in individual packets like that?
Should keep it fresher since you should keep tea in air tight containers and it is more hygienic so good for workplaces. For home use I stick to loose leave teas.
Ease of use, apparently
But it's an extra step. When you buy a regular box of tea, all the tea bags are just in the box, not individually wrapped.
'Freshness' or other bullcrap
That "apparently" is the key here
That's why it there!
I would imagine it's for shared spaces, including cafes, where you want to be dealing out individual teabags but don't want other people touching the one you'll be using.
