I get that plastics are amazing stuff and all, but maaaaybe tea bags don't need to be plastic.
What the fuck? I thought the bags were made of paper or cloth??
Some are but there are nylon teabags and pyramid teabags made with plastic, and apparently even paper teabags often use glues made of plastic. These days you have to specifically seek out a brand that explicitly says they have no plastic in their bags or just buy loose leaf.
Use loose leaf tea!
