I think most civilised people drink loose leaf tea in Bodum glass
infusers.
Better for the palate and better for the garden.
Sadly it is becoming steadily more difficult to find loose leaf tea
in supermarkets

Ooh, get you!
I drink Typhoo in tea bags in a mug! and they rot down fine in my compost
heap when they come in contact with chicken poo.

Well, mine don't. I spread the contents of my compost bin on my
allotment on Thursday, and was dismayed to find that there were
thousands of Typhoo tea bags on the surface, the contents rotted down,
the outer bags present.
They had been in the compost for up to 1 year.
So the seach for a tea bag that provides a good cup of tea, and rots
down continues.

OK, then I'l try chicken poo. It sells for £3.50 a bag here in
Cornwall. It's that or change the tea bags, and I do enjoy Typhoo.

£3.50 per bag! That's a very expensive way of producing one cup of an
alternative hot drink.

I bet they don't sell much of that chicken cup-a-soup! ;-)
