Tea Bags are disgusting?

[Polymathic]

Firstly: no not that that of teabag. (Get your mind out of the gutter)

Admittedly I'm not a tea drinker but I bought some green tea because it was going on special a while back 3 boxes.

I put the teabag in the mug added water and had let it steep. So I take the teabag bag out and wasn't prepared for the overwhelming taste of paper this cup of tea had.

Now whenever I use the tea, I remove the tea leaves from the tea bag and once the leaves have been sufficiently steeped I strain if with a tea strainer.

Was I doing something wrong?
Or does all teabag tea have the taste of teabags?
Or are my tastebuds too sensitive? (Personally I'm not a fan of Nespresso because because I feel like it tastes plasticky)

Was a phase a while back of certain brands selling unbleached teabags because apparently the bleaching process altered the taste somewhat. Dunno. I also usually dump the contents into a metal strainer and make the tea with that if I can't find a loose leaf...prefer the loose leaf tho and being able to decide how much tea I want to use.

I only drink tea (Rooibos) to top up my English words for the day.
