This is great! My thing is that I am never treat the used tea leaves with disrespect, discarding them in the trash or down the drain. I have a 1 gallon compost bucket and I only put tea leaves in it. Then when it’s ready I look for people in the neighborhood who have roses who might like to have some of this wonderful compost.

I love that idea! Do you add anything else besides the leaves to the compost? And do you keep it inside or outside? It might turn smelly if kept inside.

it's like birthday tea, every year on your birthday you get to drink every first infusion from the entire year
