Something to bear in mind: most teabags are made with plastic, and release thousands upon thousands of microplastics that you then ingest.
As it's becoming more clear how dangerous microplastic ingestion is, I would recommend opting for loose leaf tea with a strainer whenever possible. You can use up your existing tea by ripping open the bags and pouring the contents in a strainer.
Most? I’d say it’s at least 50/50 or less. The fancy teas use those awful nylon triangle bags, but the cheaper brands (Lipton, store brands) usually still come in paper/cellulose in my experience.
There’s still loose leaf tea as well. Some of that comes in big plastic bags or containers, but at least you’re not cooking the plastic with that.
Many brands incorporate either plastic fibers or a polypropylene based glue in their paper bags, so be sure to look up each brand, even if it looks like paper.
