Topic: Tea



Expert: Candie
Date: 5/17/2006
Subject: Packaging tea w/metal staple

Question
What effect does the metal staple have on the quality of taste when following the directions on the package of most ordinary vendors.  What is the composition of the metal, also.  

Answer
Staples are usually stainless steel so they don't have any impact on the flavor of the tea. The paper or material that is used to make the bag can have much more impact on the flavor. There are some bags that I can taste either the bag or some chemical on the bag.
