Are these tea bags treated with epichlorohydrin?

Wouldn't know, it says "chlorine free" and "paper-please recycle" on the box, as for the rest of it, it's written in German so I don't know. I have been using them for over 15 years and never had a problem, if that helps at all.

They are. I put them into my composter. No problems. And the tea is delicious and so soothing to my throat.

They are not treated with chlorine. I don't believe they are bleached. I think it's a low impact natural dye. However, they are not my favorite. I really wanted them to be, since they're made in the US and they are organic and help, nothing else, however they're small and scratchy and not quite absorbent. I use them for wiping in the home made baby powder.

Not anymore. They produce brown liquid but since January have sucked and been chemically cleaned. Does not provide effects even after consuming LOTS... These are the first brown watered ones to have ZERO effect

Ruth, they are not. The handsewn tea leaves are organic teas and eatable flowers. They are beautful to watch and taste wonderful. Hope you enjoy.

We sometimes use tea bags in the press. Easier to press out without taking the bags out of the water and it steeps very well even this way. No residue this way but even with loose leaves you'll expect very fine particles to get out, but not enough to ruin the taste.

According to the official Bigelow web site, they company uses Ethyl Acetate, an industrial solvent, to decaffinate their teas. Now you know why this wasn't included in their advertising.

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.

i do not know. I usually just rinse them with warm water but I only keep coolaid or tea in them (cold). If there is a residue then I use a washcloth with a wee bit of soap. there is nothing on them to specify rather you can put them in the dish washer. sorry if that isn't helpful.

I use paper tea holders from Teavana, very reasonable. I have not found anything else at this point.http://www.amazon.com/Teavana-Perfect-Paper-Filter-Bags/dp/B001JJJRLY

I poach salmon in these bags with no problem and have used them for "boil in a bag" backpacking meals. I read somewhere on the packaging or description they are BPA free (but that is not my area).Cheers,

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!

They're pinprick holes. I can run some lightweight fishing line or a small needle through one of the holes but my standard size safety pins and thumbtacks wont fit. I've not tried powdered tea and to be honest I'm not sure how fine the powder is but this is one of the finest strainers I've run into.

No. According to the box (my tea came in a box not a pouch - same brand, though) the ingredients are "Dried Moringa oleifera leaf".

I have re-hydrated them in a bag when they got dry. I found done herbs from 11/2 years ago I forgot about. The herbs were in fine shape and the packets were also good. These were sealed in a quart jar.

Each tea bag is stitched closed. But you can brew with less than 5 gal of water per tea bag if you prefer.

If these are made of the same material as those " silk" teabags, I heard they are not safe to use. , I will follow up if I can find a link. Won't kill you immediately of course but who needs food stuff soaked in more plastic?[ This answers feature should allow us to subscribe to questions.]
