Did you know tea bags contain plastic? Yes, seriously!  A single plastic tea bag can release 11.6 billion microplastic and 3.1 billion nanoplastic particles into a single cup of tea, according to new research. Eww, we don't want to be drinking that! Make the swap to reusable tea bags and also ditch any unwating packaging too! It’s probable that most haven’t given much thought to the sustainability of teabags, but here’s some news for you if you didn’t already know: most paper teabags are only 70-80% biodegradable, as they are made with plastic polypropylene – A lot of paper teabags are also treated with epichlorohydrin, a potential carcinogen used in the production of epoxy resins.

Use:

Simply add loose tea, enjoy a fresh cuppa, then rinse or wash and enjoy again and again.  Wash by turning inside out and composting all the tea. Soak in cold water to help prevent stains. Hand wash in your sink with a little washing up liquid, then a quick rinse under the tap. Line dry. For a deeper clean, soak the tea bag for a few hours in vinegar and water(apple cider or white vinegar) 1 part vinegar to two parts water. If the tea bag was used for tea with milk - hand wash after each use. If no milk, rinse and reuse 1-2 times (same day) and then hand wash. 

Other Uses:

The bags can also be used for whole spices in cooking such as homemade bouquet garni. Use to infuse or flavour sugars, sauces or even use in the bath for tea bath- just don’t mix them!
