Lannso Disposable Tea Bags for Loose Leaf Tea (400 Count)

This is actually one of the surprise hits with these bags — multiple reviewers use them as a single-serve coffee brewing method. Add 2-3 tablespoons of medium-ground coffee to the bag, pull the drawstring tight, and steep in hot water for 4-5 minutes (like a French press without the press). Reviewers say it works excellently and is more economical than single-serve coffee pods. The strong seams handle coffee grounds without leaking, and cleanup is just tossing the bag. Great for travel or offices without a coffee maker.

You can, but there's not much reason to. The whole point of these disposable bags is to replace an infuser — you fill one with your loose leaf tea, pull the drawstring shut, and drop it straight into your mug or teapot. Reviewers specifically praise how the strong seams don't leak and the material catches sediment effectively, so you get a clean cup without needing an infuser at all. That said, if you have a very fine tea that you're worried about, doubling up with an infuser won't hurt anything.

Very close, with a small caveat. The non-woven fabric allows good water flow so your leaves can expand and develop flavor properly — reviewers confirm the bags work well for whole-leaf teas. However, one reviewer noted a slightly lighter tea color and taste compared to an open infuser, and another mentioned a faint cottony taste initially. For most people the difference is negligible, especially after a rinse or two of new bags. The convenience trade-off is well worth it for daily brewing.

Yes, and reviewers specifically mention this use case. Fill a bag with your tea, drop it in a thermos, and you've got tea for the whole day. The strong seams hold up to extended steeping without breaking down. One thing to keep in mind: leaving tea in contact with hot water for hours will make it stronger and potentially more bitter, so you might want to use less tea than usual or remove the bag after your desired steep time if your thermos opening allows it.

For a standard 400ml cup (about 13.5 oz), you'd typically use one Lannso filter bag filled with 2-3 teaspoons of loose leaf tea. The bags are sized to hold 1-3 teaspoons comfortably, so a single bag handles a large mug just fine. The drawstring closure keeps everything sealed so you can let it steep without worrying about leaves escaping.

Most reviewers don't report any taste issue. However, one reviewer did notice a slight cottony taste, and another mentioned slightly lighter color compared to an open infuser. If you're particularly sensitive to subtle flavor differences, you might try rinsing a bag with hot water before adding your tea leaves — that usually eliminates any fabric taste. For the vast majority of users, these brew a clean, flavorful cup without noticeable interference.

Two minor notes from reviewers: the drawstring can wick water up and drip onto your counter when you remove the bag, and it's shorter than the strings on commercial pre-made tea bags, so it won't dangle over the side of a tall mug the same way. Neither is a dealbreaker — just set the used bag on a saucer when you pull it out, and you're fine. The secure closure and easy filling more than make up for these small quirks.

Absolutely — this is one of their strong suits. The bags are sized to hold 1-3 teaspoons, which gives plenty of room for bulky herbal ingredients like dried berries, bark, flowers, and mixed-texture botanicals. Reviewers specifically mention using them for herbs, spices, and herbal combinations. The drawstring closure is especially helpful here since bulky ingredients don't compress the way tea leaves do, and you need a secure seal to keep everything contained.

Three things matter most: seam strength, material quality, and closure type. Cheap filter bags split during steeping and dump leaves into your cup — the Lannso bags specifically get praised for strong seams that don't leak or break (mentioned by 6 reviewers). Look for a drawstring closure rather than a fold-over design, since drawstrings seal securely and let you pull the bag out easily. And check that the fabric allows good water flow while still catching fine particles. The Lannso bags check all three boxes, plus you get 400 in a pack with a free tea scoop.

It's straightforward: open the bag, use the included tea scoop to measure 1-3 teaspoons of loose leaf tea (depending on your cup size and how strong you like it), then pull the drawstring to seal. Drop the bag into your mug or teapot, pour hot water over it, and steep for your tea's recommended time. Reviewers mention these are easy to fill without spilling, which is a real plus if you've fought with flimsy filter bags before. When done, just lift by the drawstring and toss.

The Lannso bags use a non-woven fabric — think of it like a fine cheesecloth. The weave is tight enough to catch tea particles and sediment but open enough to let water flow through freely, extracting flavor from the leaves. Reviewers confirm the bags do a good job catching sediments while maintaining good water flow. It's essentially the same principle as a coffee filter, just shaped as a bag with a drawstring for easy removal.

These bags are made from non-woven fabric (a cheesecloth-type material), not the heat-sealed nylon or polypropylene found in some commercial tea bags that have raised microplastic concerns. Reviewers describe the material as a durable fabric rather than plastic mesh. If avoiding microplastics is a priority for you, these fabric-style disposable bags are a safer bet than many store-bought tea bags.

Squeezing forces out bitter tannins and fine particles that would normally stay trapped in the bag, making your cup more astringent. With these Lannso bags, the drawstring design actually makes it easy to lift the bag out cleanly without the temptation to squeeze — just pull the string and let it drip for a few seconds. The good water flow through the fabric means your tea extracts well during steeping, so squeezing isn't necessary to get full flavor.
