1.) Is it safe to dump used tea leaves down the drain/disposal?
The tea is Taylor's Of Harrogate's Special Rave Assam sort, loose leaves in a can, for the pot.

The leaves look bigger to me than those in bags, inc. Taylor's own normal Assam tea in bags. This special selection varies from normal Assam tea, even from this fine firm, which holds the Royal Warrant to supply tea to Charles, Prince of Wales. His crest is on their boxes.

In general, are tea leaves safe for the disposal?

I usually just use bags and throw them in the trash.

2.) If a loaf of whole wheat bread becomes moldy, gray mold, but the lower end of the loaf is normal, can it be eaten?

Surely, some genius here knows the answers. Neither I or my maid has a clue, and I'd rather not take a chance. Actually, the maid is a 20 year old cutie taking a semester off from college and she never drank tea in a cup before working here. I had fun introducing her to it and to various cultural and historical issues seemingly no longer taught in high school or freshman college classes.

I just don't know what Mother did with tea leaves, but she used mainly bags, anyway. I think my ex wife just used instant powder, for iced tea.

I'd call Taylor's US office, but they're closed for Memorial Day.

Humans have been eating moldy bread since three days after it was invented! Pigs have been eating moldy bread 1 day after humans decided they didn't like the taste!

Not near as bad as that moldy cheese from France they snuck into my salad!

PS Used tea will not hurt your disposal, but it can clog your drain!
