Why Choose Empty Tea Bags for Your Loose Leaf Tea?

If you love loose leaf tea but hate the cleanup, these empty tea bags are your answer. You get all the flavor and health benefits of loose leaf tea, without the strainer or infuser. Just fill, seal, and steep. They're perfect for making your own tea blends, single servings, or gifts. Plus, they're made from natural fibers, so you can compost them after use.

How to Use Empty Tea Bags for the Perfect Cup

Using these tea bags is simple. Open the bag, add about one to two teaspoons of your favorite loose leaf tea, then seal it closed. If you have the heat-sealable kind, just use a warm iron or a tea bag sealer. If you have the tie-top kind, just fold and tie. Then steep in hot water for three to five minutes, depending on your taste. Granny's tip: don't overfill the bag, or the tea won't have room to expand and release its flavor.
