T-Sac Tea Filter Bags, Disposable Tea Infuser, Number 1-Size, 1-Cup Capacity, Set of 200

I've been using these Tea Bags for years now. In the past I've always bought them from my neighborhood Peet's Coffee, but they only carry the larger size. These Size 1 bags are perfect for a single "serving" of tea. For me, that means anywhere from one cup to a larger commuter tumbler. I love good loose tea and I love having a variety to chose from. But I don't always have time to wait for a pot to steep and don't want to have to wash the teapot. If I'm drinking a lighter green tea, then there's no harm in letting it steep in my cup for a couple of hours. Sometimes I'll even refill it with hot water for a second use. I've also never been a big fan of infusers. So these single serving filter bags are the perfect way to "roll 'ur own" and get just what you want. The value is good, the quality is good, and the price is right. EDIT: I'm updating this review, because the product codes for the various sized bags have been merged and all of the reviews are lumped in together. They're very different products though. Size 1: We use these at home. My wife likes her tea a little weaker, so these are perfect for her. She drinks her tea from large tumblers, but this sized bag is still OK for her. For me, these bags really only work for a smaller cup. Size 2: I use these at work where I drink from larger cups (12oz - 20oz). These hold a lot of tea, so they work fine for me. Size 3: I accidentally bought an order of these once. Honestly, they're grotesquely large. These are big enough for a whole pot of tea. I personally don't have a use for them, but if you want to make pots of tea and don't have a proper teapot with a basket inside (or if you lose yours), then these would be the right size for you. Regardless of the size, the quality and functionality is the same. These tea bags work great. They're perfect for lovers of loose leaf tea.

I like these empty tea bags because they are not difficult to fill with 1-2 tsp. of loose tea leaves, they do not leak if the long flap is fully tucked into the bag after filling, and they can be composted. No staples or strings means you should have a way to lift and squeeze the bag after brewing (tea tongs). The bag holds up to repeated brewing, too. I like that, when fully "inflated," the bags have a flat bottom, to fill them more easily. I wanted a way to use a high quality loose tea that was waiting in its jar. This product worked so well (no adverse effect on flavor, either) that I plan to order more when needed. Shipping was good, too, and I have yet to find these bags at local stores.

I mostly drink loose tea and these work perfectly. They give the tea an opportunity to swell and uncurl while keeping it tidier. I put my tea leaves in and staple it shut.

These are terrific for loose tea. But I do not use them as instructed. I place my tea in the paper infuser. Fold the upper corners in, and fold down the top flap to seal the pouch. I staple the pouch closed and have created my own tea bag. Nice and easy! Metal tea infusers always seem to lose tea into the mug. This is not an issue for the paper infusers. Update January 21, 2018: I found an additional use for these paper infusers. I wanted to add rosemary to a soup I was making. I did not have the seasoning in a ground variety. So I placed the rosemary and two bay leaves into the paper infuser and used the back of a wooden spoon to crush the seasonings. After stapling the packet closed I threw the paper packet into the pot of soup I was making. When the soup was done simmering it was a simple process to remove the the whole spices. This was much easier than using cheese cloth.

Pros: -The best loose tea bags -Great value -High durability -Consistent design Cons: -Clunky -No self sealing These are the go to tea bags that every loose tea drinkers needs to have in their arsenal. I personally have been using the t-sac bags for over 20 years and they have always done me right. Simply add your tea, put into hot water (or pour over the bag), steep, then remove done! These bags make loose tea insanely easy to prepare with one notable exception - they don't seal. Now, there is one possible explanation why these bags don't seal and it most likely has to deal with preventing glue from ending up in your tea. I have found that rolling the top closed will keep most of the tea in place but I always get some leaves in the brew. Also, I would highly recommend using a wide mouth funnel for inserting tea as the bags are very 'Clunky' and awkward to fill by hand. Otherwise these bags have remained identical to when I first started using them, I am not even sure the packaging has changed (talk about consistency). You should buy with confidence as this brand of tea bag does its job and does it well every time.
