Boao Cheesecloth Tea Bags

At 6 x 8 inches, these are definitely on the larger side—some reviewers mention they're bigger than expected for traditional tea bag use. If you're looking for something to dunk in a single mug, these might feel oversized. However, that generous size is exactly why people love them for cold brew coffee, soup spice bundles, or brewing larger batches of loose leaf tea in pitchers. Think of them as multi-purpose straining bags rather than traditional single-serve tea bags.

Yes, these are genuinely reusable! Multiple reviewers specifically praise the durable muslin construction and mention washing them with basic dish soap for repeated use. The material quality holds up well, which is part of why they're popular with cold brew coffee enthusiasts who want a sustainable alternative to disposable filters. Just rinse or hand wash them between uses and they'll keep going.

Here's where these really shine: versatility. Reviewers use them for everything from cold brew coffee to loose leaf tea, soup stock bundles, and even straining homemade nut milk. The large size accommodates multiple ingredients—whether that's coffee grounds, whole spices for broth, or a generous amount of loose tea leaves. If you're experimenting with different brewing methods or making spice sachets for cooking, the size gives you room for ingredients to expand without bursting the bag.

Absolutely—several reviewers specifically mention using these for cold brew, and the natural muslin material is ideal for coffee since it doesn't impart any flavors. The 6 x 8 inch size lets you add enough coffee grounds for a proper cold brew ratio, and because they're reusable, you're not constantly buying disposable filters. Just fill, tie, steep overnight, and you've got smooth cold brew ready to go.

The simple tie-and-use design makes them pretty beginner-friendly. You fill them up, pull the drawstring closed, and you're done. The larger opening actually makes filling easier—no fumbling with tiny openings or worrying about spilling tea leaves. Just be aware that because they're roomy, you'll want to avoid overfilling if you're putting them in smaller containers where they need to stay submerged.

If sustainability matters to you, these check the box. With 50 reusable bags in a pack and durable muslin construction, you're looking at significantly less waste compared to single-use paper filters or disposable tea bags. Several reviewers mention the reusability as a key selling point, and since you can wash them with regular dish soap, there's no special care required. It's a simple swap that adds up over time.
