Read about our search for the best tea bag for loose leaf tea below: Why not paper tea filters? Paper tea bags are generally considered environmental friendlier than most other types of bags made from other material. This is because paper is generally biodegradable, though theres always a small amount of plastic used to keep the paper together and not let it melt away while steeping your leaves. Theres no evidence though that paper bags are hazardous to your health necessarily, though we cant say theyre not either. However, what we do know for sure is that it affects the flavour of your tea.

Theres been a lot of noise in the tea world regarding tea bags. It all started with silky pyramid bags that in fact werent made of silk, but nylon. The main problem with nylon is that its not biodegradable and will pollute our ecosystem. Like with paper, theres been concerns regarding safety, as the plastic might melt when brewing tea. This concern is generally not valid as PET has a melting point above 200 C.

Nevertheless, we continued our search because nylon isnt biodegradable Corn-starch based disposable tea bags Our search for the perfect fillable tea bag continued and we found out about corn-starch based bags. At first, this sounded pretty attractive and guess whatwere made to believe that its biodegradable. In fact, it really isnt.

In practice, the changes are pretty small, or perhaps close to zero, that it will end up in such a facility. Therefore, our conclusion is that corn-starch bags for loose tea arent much better than a nylon bag. 100% biodegradable cotton tea bags Eventually, we found what were looking for: Fabric tea bags made from 100% natural cotton.
