Your teabag takes the heavy metals out of the water it’s brewed in, if there are any present. (Just don’t use a plastic teabag and put plastic back in at the same time) https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/02/250224155116.htm

The mechanism with the teabag is really interesting. Boiling water on its own already gets rid of a lot of yuck https://e360.yale.edu/digest/microplastics-tap-water-boiling#:~:text=For%20the%20new%20research%2C%20scientists,as%20much%20as%2090%20percent.

Yeah, I knew about the boiling, but the teabags were something I never actually thought of
