Tea Bag

A tea bag is a small, porous, sealed bag or packet, typically containing herbs or tea leaves, which is immersed in water to steep and make an infusion.

Tea bags are commonly made of filter paper or food-grade plastic, or occasionally of silk cotton or silk. The tea bag performs the same function as a tea infuser. Tea bags can be used multiple times until there is no extraction left (normally taste or visible colour). Some tea bags have an attached piece of string with a paper label at the top that assists in holding or maneuvering the bag, while also displaying the brand or variety of tea.
