Wesdxc56 Cotton Drawstring Tea Filter Bags

These bags are surprisingly generous—you can easily fit enough loose tea for 1-4 cups per bag, depending on how strong you like your brew. Several users mention the 'large capacity' as a standout feature. They're roomy enough that your tea leaves have space to expand properly, which is important for getting the full flavor out of quality loose leaf tea.

Here's the thing—they're not cotton. They're actually made of polypropylene/polyethylene, which is a food-safe plastic mesh. While this might be disappointing if you specifically wanted natural fibers, the upside is they're incredibly durable and the fine mesh does an excellent job keeping even tiny tea particles contained. No tea dust escaping into your cup.

They do tend to float, which some users found annoying. A few reviewers mentioned needing to weigh them down or push them under the water. The material is lightweight and water-resistant, so if you're steeping in a mug, you might need to use a spoon to keep it submerged. Not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of.

Absolutely! The bags are sturdy enough to handle multiple steeps, which is great if you're drinking higher-quality tea that rewards a second or third infusion. Users specifically praised the durability and mentioned reusing them. Just rinse between uses if you're switching tea types, or leave the same tea in for consecutive steeps.

The drawstring works, but it's not perfect. The slippery plastic material means the string doesn't grip well, so several users mentioned needing to tie actual knots rather than just pulling the drawstring tight. It's a minor inconvenience—takes an extra second or two—but it does close securely once you tie it off. Also watch out for occasional quality control issues; one reviewer mentioned a few bags were missing strings entirely.

For around $12, you're getting 400 bags, which works out to about 3 cents per bag. That's exceptional value, especially considering they're reusable and don't use any glue or adhesive in the construction. Multiple reviewers specifically called out the 'excellent value' and use them for everything from daily tea drinking to creating custom herbal blends. Even commercial tea shops use bags like these, so you're getting professional-quality at a fraction of the cost.
