Art of Tea Filter Bags

They're surprisingly durable. Multiple users specifically mention that these bags don't fall apart when wet, and the drawstring stays secure throughout the steeping process. You won't end up with tea leaves floating in your cup, which is a common problem with cheaper filter bags.

No chemical or bleach taste comes through—several reviewers specifically tested for this and found the unbleached material keeps the tea's natural flavor intact. If you're particular about taste (especially with delicate teas), that's a real advantage over bleached alternatives.

The 4" by 3.5" size gives you plenty of room to work with. Users mention being able to fill them easily without spills, and the large opening means you're not funneling tea through a tiny space. Just add your tea and pull the drawstring tight—it's pretty forgiving even if you're new to loose leaf.

A few users do mention the tag is long and can get a bit sloppy when it's wet, so it's not just rumor. That said, it doesn't affect the functionality—the bag itself seals securely and does its job. If you're bothered by it, you could always trim the tag shorter.

They work well with both. The secure drawstring closure keeps even fine specialty teas contained, and the bag is large enough to allow proper leaf expansion for larger leaves. Some users even use them for yerba mate, which has very fine particles, without any issues.

Beyond the obvious convenience of not running out constantly, they come in quality packaging (tin or box) that keeps them fresh and organized. If you're brewing loose leaf regularly—whether you're a beginner finding your way or an enthusiast who values control over each cup—having a good supply on hand just makes daily tea drinking simpler.
