A tea bag (or "teabag") is generally agreed to be a small, porous bag used to steep tea. These bags may be sealed and filled with tealeaves or they may be open and empty (thus allowing the tea brewer / drinker to fill it with whole-leaf tea). Many tea bags have a string attached to make removing them from the brewing vessel easier, however, this is not true for all tea bags. Generally, tea bags with a string attached also bear the name of their producer or the type of tea on a small piece of paper at the opposite end of the string from the tea bag itself.
Tea Bag is a small, porous, sealed bag containing dried plant material, which is immersed in boiling water to make a hot drink. Classically these are tea leaves, but the term is also used for herbal teas (tisanes) made of herbs or spices. Tea bags are commonly made of filter paper or food-grade plastic, or occasionally of silk. The bag contains the tea leaves while the tea is steeped, making it easier to dispose of the leaves, and performs the same function as a tea infuser. Some tea bags have an attached piece of string with a paper label at the top that assists in removing the bag while also displaying the brand or variety of tea.
In the tea bag packaging industry, the demand for varieties of black, herbal, green, and fruit infusions is getting stronger day-by-day, and the competition is quite fierce as well. The packaging not only preserves and protects the product within the tea bag but also communicates a brand’s message and ultimately contributes to the sales process. Sustainability is also one of the primary concerns in the tea bag packaging industry. As a result, packaging equipment manufacturers are increasingly adopting automation in their production line and adhering to Sustainable Trade Initiatives throughout the globe.
