Tea Bag

Is it okay to rip open the tea bag and to eat raw tea leaves?

So I’d like to drink more tea. The problem is that I’d have to pour more and more boiling water for each tea bag re-use (I re-use them 2-3 times since plenty of tea comes out after each use) and I’d have to drink a tremendous amount of water (and having to get that water out gets annoying). So can’t I just eat the tea leaves raw to get the same phytochemicals and caffeine in tea?

Yes, you can. Tea leaves are used in cooking in Asian cuisine. White and green tea would be best. Buy it in bulk even better.
