Nah! Yorkshire tea or at best, PG tips!! ;D

Oh no, not tea bags - Pleaaassese!! Fresh, Loose tea please - far less plastic too!

Loose tea isn't fresh either, it's dried just like in tea bags!     :)

It's certainly a lot fresher than bagged tea...
The main difference between loose leaf tea and bagged tea is the grade of the tea used. 'Generally speaking, tea bags will use low grade tea (called 'dust' or 'fannings'). ... It just indicates the condition of the tea leaves used. By contrast, loose leaf teas generally use the whole tea leaf...

You should ask the connoisseur tea-drinker, Guy, what he uses, loose or bags!   ;D

That's pretty off-topic, but nothing to discuss here anyway. I only drink quality tea. Good tea is like good wine, it's just easier to drink and you can actually enjoy the process. I can drink a nice and expensive natural Earl Grey the whole day... I actually drink tea in beer mugs, that's how crazy I am. I consume tea in amounts no one wants to hear, and a bag of Lipton could kill me.

A nice cast iron tea pot simular to this should suffice for a good loose leaf brew...

Surely Guy gives a tea preference in one of the tour diary posts.

Guy favours pyramid PG Tips, or at least he did, maybe he's changed becuase of poor quality control.

The Yorkshire or PG tea bags are made of paper, not plastic!
