Heat and Seal Tea Bags (also referred to as “press and seal”) are super easy to seal with a hot iron or curling iron (minimum 200 degrees). The paper is naturally whitened with Hydrogen Peroxide and contain no Dioxins or glue. Each small tea bag holds about one heaping tablespoon. One pound of tea would fill approximately 225 tea bags. Each bag measures 2 13/16″ x 2 1/2″ (outside dimensions). The bags consist of human-made thermoplastic fibers (in the heat seal), cellulose fibers, and abaca (a plant in the banana family) which is also known as Manila hemp. Our bags are compostable, but not biodegradable (due to the thermoplastic heat seal). Made in the USA.
