      No more benefit really. And rather nasty on the way down your throat. In other words, not really worth it

      that sounds dumb. that would be like taking some of the coffee out of the filter and then putting it in your coffee and drinking it?

      No, the leaves itself is too strong, and will make you sick.

      won’t hurt you
      maybe give you some bulk

      I doubt that their would be more benifit because all the nutrients are all ready extracted from the leaves themselves, but I doubt they would be harmful as many people in China eat tea leaves and use them as any other herb.

      Why bother with the tea, if you can eat the tea bag.
      Check with your doctor first. <}:-})

      While eating the tea leaves in green tea is considered beneficial in many circles, I would not recommend eating the tea leaves from bagged green tea. They are over-processed and may contain many undesirables used in preservation. The full benefit of green tea comes from making it the old fashioned way, with free leaves and hot (not boiling) water from an underground fresh water stream rich with natural minerals
