What is the bag part of a tea bag made of?
This is one of those stupid questions that has been bugging me for days now! I thought it was paper, but then was thinking; if it were paper then surely this would disintegrate when it got wet! Any ideas?
Answers:
It must be some form of tough paper - but very tough. I throw my used tea bags on our garden compost and a year later they still have not rotted down. But I think they are good for the garden
Oh yeah. I saw a special segment on tea on tv and they said that what the tea bag was made of was "top secret".
it's a hard compressed paper, like the tissue paper you get in a resturant, the real thin one's.

Most is made from the same type of paper the coffee filters are made from only thinner, here in Canada we have a variety made by Red Rose, they are made with muslin or cheesecloth, a bit more expensive but allows the tea more access to the water.
A type of paper.
No it is paper or sometimes nylon. The paper though has little holes to stop the paper getting saturated.
