Tea Bags: An Elegant & Convenient Way To Drink Tea!

Tea bags are small, porous sealed bags containing tea leaves and are used for brewing tea. Herbs and spices are used for brewing herbal teas, which are sometimes called "tisane".

Tea bags are usually made from filter paper, silk or food|paper and even food compatible plastic. The tea bag is steeped in the water and acts as the tea infuser and this makes it easy and quick to dispose of the tea leaves.

Speciality Teas

Some tea bags have a string attached, with a paper label on top that is used to remove the bag. The label is also a way of advertising the brand and/or variety of the tea being used.

Tea bags are often individually wrapped in small, sealed paper envelopes. This keeps the tea fresh and provides another means of advertising the suppliers brand name. Speciality teas are often packed this way, to differentiate them from other competitive brands!

The term tea bag is sometimes used to describe the paper or foil packaging for loose tea leaves. This is normal in countries where using loose tea leaves is common.

Tea has been used as a refreshing beverage since about 2000 BC. Indeed, the tea ritual - brewing, serving, and the drinking of tea - persists in many countries around the world, to this day!

It is thought that the tea trade started in China. However, both China and India insist that it was they who discovered the health and dietary properties of tea leaves.

Tea bags are composed of processed tea leaves and filter-paper bags. The buds and tea leaves at the top of the plant are hand-picked. The tea leaves are then prepared by a number of processes including withering, rolling, drying, cutting, and blending, ready for packing.
