finumDisposable Paper Tea Filter Bags for Loose Tea, White, Large, 100 Count

If you make a lot of tea, especially iced tea, you need to make your own bags. Loose leaf tea is less expensive. You can adapt the strength to your whim & even mix different flavors. Easy to fill pouches can be thrown into the compost or green waste.

A little long but works well for making a cuppa. Much easier to use than a diffuser.

I make a quart of double strength tea every 2-3 days. After reading the reviews I still wasn't sure which bags to order. The Finums did not disappoint. The bag is generous and has a long, fold over flap on top. It does stay closed and the distal end of the flap can be hung over the side of your container. It stays because it becomes moist from capillary action and just clings to the side.I am saving money because instead of using two Lipton Family Size tea bags per batch, I now buy regular size Lipton's at Costco. I just cut them open (usually while watching TV) and empty the leaves into a small ziploc bag and tuck in a tablespoon measuring spoon for convenience. Since each large Lipton bag is approximately 1 Tbsp., I just place 2 Tbsp. of the loose tea in a Finum bag and I am ready to pour the hot water in and let it steep for 2-3 hours. The Finum bag is big enough to hold 4 Tbsp. I believe it would still allow enough room for the water to circulate around the leaves adequately.

I'm from the land of Ceylon tea. Needless to say, I love strong black tea. I have never been able to form any attachment to the insipid leaf they call "tea" sold in the grocery stores; even the expensive ones in the pretty boxes on the top shelves. I prefer loose leaf tea - which isn't cheap. Even though I like to use a tea pot, there does tend to be some waste which has me going back to the store more often that I'd like.I find that the Finum filters give me the best of both worlds: the convenience of tea bags with the delight of a good cuppa. They are very easy to use: spoon the loose tea into the bag and let the tea steep as you would a tea bag. When the tea is well steeped, discard the bag and the used leaves within. No muss, no fuss; just good tea.

Tea leaves need room to expand when you brew tea, so a metal tea ball doesn't usually allow enough room for that expansion, especially when you're brewing a pot of tea. These filters are big enough to allow for enough tea for a pot, but not too big for a cup. These tea filters are easy to fill, economical, and easy to dispose of. Instead of having struggle with cleaning out the metal tea ball, just throw the filter away.

This is one of those products that make your day. You can make your own tea bags so that when you brew a pot of tea, the loose leaves aren't a hassle to clean out of your tea pot. Simply open the end of the envelope and fill up the bag with your tea, then make a knot in the end of the bag and you have a wonderful tea bag. I wish I'd known about these sooner. I bought the large size and it is plenty big enough to fill it with enough tea to make a very large pot of tea.

These were my second choice as far as size. But they are good for most anything you would need them for. I will probably try them with my loose teas. I bought them to make tub tea for our church bazaar. They are ok.... but I'd prefer a little larger. But will work great for tea!

After reading reviews on this product, I couldn't be more pleased. They tea bags work great! No residue found at all after steeping my tea. I am very happy.
