I usually buy t-sacs for my loose tea but I like Melitta products also. Can these tea filters be heat-sealed?

I never tried to heat seal the Melitta tea filters, but they do work quite well for loose tea. I just fold them a couple of times.

I don't know. I just fold over the top and place in teapot....have no trouble with the loose tea slipping out.

I ordered them for loose leaf tea, but I would say they are definitely NOT air tight! For the price...they are decent containers, but I'm buying new containers for tea...one by one as I save for them! hope this helps!

These do not require a paper filter, just fill, usually a good scoop, but you can adjust to your preference after experimenting. I tap out the grounds after use and rinse well and air dry. I have used loose tea, but generally put a t bag in the cup and use the hot water. Any of the other mixes would either need to be purchased k-cups or do the same as for the tea. These are wonderful cups, have used the same ones for over a year.

It takes the flat filter rather than the more "V" shaped Melitta. Just look for that. I use disposables so don't have a brand.

Not sure how that would work. I use several types of tea leaves and it works great; never really "seal" it. I just fold it over and it works fine. Not sure if coffee is a good idea.

No. They have a screw on top, not the push on ones with the plastic. I have both, and they both keep the tea "moisture free."

Any covered jar will do. Only remember to CLOSE/COVER immediately after every use to maintain freshness. If don't have a jar try zip lock bag. Bought my peppermint since before Christmas and I am still enjoying my tea. Wish u well.

I keep all my teas in their original packing in my pantry away from heat and direct sunlight or in tea tins (bought here on Amazon cheaply) on my counter in small amounts . They seem to last just fine.

Yes, but none of mine really "sealed"....not enough that I felt secure enough to add in coffee, sugar, etc..I ended up replacing them & really noticed the difference in proper seals, so I recycled them into my guest bathroom to hold q-tips, cotton balls, disposable razors.

I am not sure the recommended method of storing tea leaves. If it is dark and dry, then yes, I'd say this container would do it. As I mentioned upon pushing the side button to open or close the top, it is air that is pushed out, but it is not a vacuum seal.

I'm pretty sure that it was made only for the sealed bag type of tea. So I'm sure that it would eventually loose the flavor and go stale, but I don't think it would get dusty if that's you're main priority.

I've made loose leaf & tea bags....same way as coffee....with excellent results. You have to be the judge as to how much tea to use, depending on how strong you want the tea to be. I've made hot tea and tea for iced tea. I love this item...tea keeps without growing stale, same as coffee. No metal and no plastic makes for a great brew!

No not really. They might longer than a reg container if you had them wrapped/packed inside something thermal or insulated. Also, the lid shuts tight but if you were to fill it with water, for example, I'm sure it would leak out. It's not a complete "seal".

In 6-pack, YES, wrapped and sealed individually; don't get 2-pack so don't know about it---I seem to remember long ago when buying 2-packs in home improvement stores, the two were wrapped together---no problem there; just throw a dryer sheet in with opened (unused) filter and if want, seal up with tape--but during our summers in North GA---we change filters every 2 months---so no sense for storing for so little time. We just changed the filter last week, they CAN last up to 3 months (2600 sq ft house-one level) but with pollen sky high, we change more often......have a clear, filtered Spring and Summer!

I would not use this for all Tea. Not fine enough to filter out small particles, in my case, thai tea.

No filter for loose tea. mine dropped and broke......loved it while I had it, but that was only about 5 weeks.
