What material is used for this tea bag and is it organic as well?

Good question. I sent the company an email to find out what they're made of. If/When I get a response, I'll come back and post it here.

I have no idea what the actual tea bag is made of. It pretty much looks like any other tea bag with a string attached. It comes inside a paper cover wrapper, and then you pull the tea bag away from the wrapper. The actual tea is USDA Organic. Hope that helps.

Ooops, sorry. The company got back to me the same day and I forgot to post the answer here. Copied and pasted from their response. "The filter paper we use is made of natural components, the primary component is abaca (manila hemp). We've gotten many requests such as yours recently, so we had our Technical Director contact our filter paper supplier and this is what she has found: In checking with our filter paper supplier, they use a TCF (Totally Chlorine Free) bleaching process, one that is recognized as a global standard in processing of wood pulps for the food industry .Response to Epichlorohydrin inquires: All filter paper tea bag types used for Newman's Own Organic Teas are safe for direct food contact. They have all been tested for epichlorohydrin / 3-MCPD residues to ensure that they meet FDA regulations for materials in direct contact with food. Recent testing by an outside lab shows epichlorohydrin is non-detectable in the filter paper."

On the bag it says it's all natural & certified organic by QAI. Hope that helps.

If it was organic it would have the USDA organic seal printed on the bag, but there's no mention of it being organic there.

I am taking this directly from the label itself Organic comfrey leaf in a base of beeswax and extra virgin live oil. My rule of thumb is to use organic products to reduce being exposed to chemicals ect. Hope that helps happy New Year!

I am not sure but you could add a couple of Passion tea with the green tea I usually use organic but I have in a pinch use something even lipton.......as long as you use it in the steeping process I would also use gunpowder green or it the passion tea has tea leaves in the blend it should be fine......Enjoy

I just read the reviews on this product and noticed two things that might answer your question. 1) Someone posted they burned the bag to test if it was 100% cotton and determined there were synthetic fibers. If brewing tea in a bag that may have synthetic fibers bothers you, then I wouldn't suggest using this to brew tea. 2) Another reviewer noted they use these bags to brew tea and were very happy with the results. Hope this helps!

It's cellophane. I'm using it to make gift baskets. It's better then the small basket bags. I'm not sure if it's compostable. I doubt it tho

I did not see anything on the bag stating it was organic. They used natural a lot. there is also a number on the bag to contact them. it is 1-800-875-7518. Hope this helps. Our dogs love this food.

I honestly am not sure what it said it was made of, when I got it. But it seems like nylon - (it's slick and comes clean better than my reusable teabags. It keeps from staining like teabags as well). I hope that helps.

It is made of polyester. My wife has had it over a year and it still looks very nice. I would recommend this bag.

I have used powdered nettle leaves and ginger in mine. It does keep most - but not all -- in the bag. Not enough was loose to interfere with enjoying the 'tea'. The bags do not come with ties/strings, so you may want to provide an alternative for the really fine herbs. I use simple cotton thread from my sewing kit. For traditional teas, I have no issue without ties.

You would only be complicating an easy process. Plus, you want to use boiling water for tea. By the time you put the boiling water in the reservoir and pump it through the tea bag, your tea will be lukewarm. Also, harmful chemicals can leech out of plastics, especially when you add boiling water. I can't remember if this product is BPA free, but that is not the only harmful chemical in plastics. Save your money.

My bag only states "Beet Root Powder Organic" along with the latin name. It is from China however but I bought it for personal cosmetic use. Hope that helps.

This has not been an issue I felt I needed to address.My opened bag resides in back of my modest pantry in its' original plastic bag.This particular bag has been open for a least 6 mos.As I live in Arizona,humidity is not a factor.When making my tea I simply grab a handful and place it in a quart pitcher of tap water and let it steep cold in my refrigerator. I prefer my hibiscus as cold tea. I have not been disappointed with the results.I do not remove the petals from the pitcher.I have even reused them after the first usage.
