Cotton? Paper? Nylon?
Tea bag paper is related to paper found in milk and coffee filters. It is made with a blend of wood and vegetable fibers. The vegetable fiber is bleached pulp abaca hemp, a small plantation tree grown for the fiber, mostly in the Philippines and Colombia. Heat-sealed tea bag paper usually has a heat-sealable thermoplastic such as PVC or polypropylene, as a component fiber on inner side of the teabag surface.

Tea in a bag?
usually paper, but more and more pyramid bags and satchels are made out of nylon.
I am a former chef and have travelled the world and found that most like the other have said are a paper material, here in Canada we have one made by Red Rose and they come in a muslin/cheescloth bag.
I am not sure why people would say nylon, then the tea would have an off taste (nylon is made from petrolem and would melt in hot water), I prefer loose tea, as it is whole leaf not pieces and stems, plus it has a more distinct flavour you can make your own, I get some cheescloth from my dollar discount store, I then buy a nice Indian, Ceylon or other loose tea, blend them and make 1 teaspoon bags, tie them with string, you would be surprise how much the difference, and they are fresher tasting. I am a tea fanatic and have tried alot.
TEA,AND A LITTLE BAG!....DUH?
