They should, they are easy to use and open up fully. I knot the draw string to keep them closed.

Sorry, I only put Twinings brand tea bags in and they fit with plenty of extra room to spare. You might be able to compare the two to figure it out. Hope that helps!

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!

I would think they would work nicely for spices. It is a screw top lid so they seal quite well hope this helps

Hi 'Mom' ... These are good quality bags I don't see why they would not work for food. The only problem is when they are re-closed they are Very difficult to re-open. I would not recomend for young childern, or for things like Trail mix, that means having to re-open often.

It would do a decent job with the black tea, since Teavana teas are pretty coarse. If you try the teas with rooibos or herbal or fruit teas you'll likely end up with a cup of debris. The straining lid has circular holes on one side that are about 1/8" on the portion with the smaller holes, so it isn't going to strain fine tea. There are some teapots on Amazon.com which have a staining basket made for tea. This one is better suited for straining peas and pasta.

I am afraid this would not answer your needs. Although the mesh is fine, it is not fine enough for spices. I just tried putting in Chia Tea myself and it shifts out the finer parts of the tea.

They are silk screen bags for extracting essential oils from herbswith wither ice water or dry ice. I hope this answers your question.Jeff Zelenka.

You could try. It works best for "needle" type herbs. Basil & others have big leaves, much easier to pick them off stems.

Yes, it's great for steeping bagged tea! The opening is rather narrow, though, so a diffuser with loose tea may not fit.

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.

not sure...they don't seal completely. Just a drawstring top. The bag material is probably fine enough.

Do you know if these jars would hold 1-1/2 teaspoon of loose leaf tea? Thank you :)

I bought it for my husband & he uses tea bags. Hasn't even used the mesh basket for loose leaf tea. I don't think the mesh basket is tight enough to hold a powder tea in. Maybe you could but the powdered tea in cheese cloth & then in the mesh basket?

To be truthful I'm not sure! The handles are a wee bit longer than some so I would assume yes! I guess you'd have to try them, but I love these bags!

They might be - the weave is nice & tight, so small pieces of herbs won't fall out, creating a mess. But my guess is that you'd prefer to use a cotton or muslin pouch for something like that - a natural material, rather than a synthetic. I'm sorry, I can't be of more help than that.

If they are larger dry herbs then yes if not you will need to get a herb chopper or grinder.
