I recently learned this and bought one of those sieve tongs , but because I still have a bunch of tea bags left over, I opted to just rip them open and put the tea in the tongs. Works like a treat, once you figure out how to rip them without spilling everything lol
Tea bags got many microplastics…
There are definitely companies that use non plastic bags. Usually even compostable. Teapigs, Traditional Medicinal, Buddha Teas, etc.
Those that are made from this mesh-stuff like that „premium“ Lipton shit? Yeah, I wouldn’t use them. Afaik, paper-teabags are safe?
Who knows, they might soak the paper in arsenic or some shit
