This is why I appreciate my "tea hobby". For minimal investment, you can get a lot of bang out of your buck, and it doesn't need to go as hog-wild as fancy coffee or wine or beer.
Dry loose leaf tea is just relatively cheap to be snobby over, compared to coffee and other things.
Get an electric kettle for $40-70, a $20 teapot...and you won't spend more than $100-$200 year for some tea (if you drink a LOT of it) that is head and shoulders better than ANYTHING in the grocery store.
Like, you can have a giant improvement in the quality of your tea for not too much.
You CAN go hog-wild and spend lots and lots...there are fancy expensive teas to be had...but even if you don't it's still way better than grocery store teabags.
I do enjoy my tea.. I think it might be my next rabbit hole to go down. I just got back from a business trip to China, and was gifted a few different black and green teas, loose and bagged. Really enjoying them so far.
I really want one of their...uh... Tea tables(?), which has a tap and temperature controlled kettle and drain built in. I'd drink so much tea...
