Bugs in your tea! I think that takes “natural” to a whole new level.

you’re funny. green tea is great though. lots of antioxidants and helps the immune system. i don’t think lipton can say that. as for the bugs, imagine what crawls in your mouth when you are sleeping.

I’ve been drinking Tea since I was a child. Perhaps because my family is Irish background and tea is a big part of that culture.

My favorite has always been Tetley Tea served with Milk and sugar. I’m not sure about the speeding of of metabolism and helping with weight loss etc however after 31 years I have never had a problem with my weight nor have I excersied or watched what I ate. Maybe there’s something to the Tea speeding up metabolism stuff I don’t know.

Unfortunately I am now addicted to the caffeine in the tea so if I don’t have my cuppa in the morning I have a splitting headache by lunch.

Should I switch to the bugs ? lol

Natural: Aw! Thanks for commenting on an old post. Bug-free tea is the only kind I endorse nowadays. But I’m beginning to wonder if maybe it’s the bugs that keep you skinny?

Stephanie! Welcome to an older post! I’m glad you liked it. And yes, all your logical arguments came to mind later, after I finished freaking out. Something about the sight of tiny bugs does that to me! And I did strain it—I used to put it in ready-made teabags. I didn’t realize you were raised a Mormon or that you were hitting the Dew. Coffee IS good for you!

OK, I saw this as a random article and had to read (great title!). Holy junebug, I laughed so hard. You realize that exposing bugs to near boiling water is pretty effective in dissuading their egg laying propensities (not to mention that they'd be laying them in your stomach, not your brain, and stomach is none to pleasant environment with all that hydrochloric acid laying around dissolving protein [like bugs]). Let's not forget that you probably strain your tea, don't you? I don't drink tea or coffee, having never developed the taste for them as I was raised a Mormon. I do, however, have a serious Mountain Dew habit (currently in remission) that positively no one will give me a justification for. Apparently, Mountain Dew is NOT good for you. Figures.

Keeley: Thank you! No, you shouldn’t stop drinking tea just because of the bugs. Remember: you can’t even taste them.

Your article is sooo funny! I really did enjoy reading it,even though
the bit about the bug made me feel sick. It wont stop me from drinking tea though.
