I decided to have a green tea because it's healthier than soda. It's healthier, right?

Paper tea bags usually contain polypropylene or another plastic so they can be heat sealed shut. They aren’t fully compostable.
Certainly in the UK, there has been a real push for fully compostible teabags. Clipper Tea and PG are fully compostable. Yorkshire Tea was not, last time I looked - which is why I stopped drinking it.
Huh, TIL.
They're now using plant based PLA, at least.
TIL too, thanks
I'd except the land of Her Majesty the 5 o'clock Tea to be at the forefront of teatech.
They make disposable tea bags made of the same paper as coffee filters
Buy loose tea and tea bags.
Test tea bags by burning them. No residue? They should be free of plastics.
Or: a reusable metal tea strainer. You just need to take 2 minutes every time to clean it but they’re no excess waste whatsoever
I tried this but I always end up with tea leaves floating around my cup
That's the mother fuckin T
Then you either need a strainer with a finer mesh or smaller holes, or courser ground tea. I‘d recommend the former. My strainer has very small holes and at worst there’s a bit of tea power at the bottom of my cup
Though I bought relatively large paper-based filters before that explicitly said they were fully compostable. And since loose tea beats bagged tea 90% of the time anyways...
Well shit. I guess I'm gonna have a lot of micro plastics in my compost then.
Spoiler, you already do whether or not you compost those.
Don't I know it. My house is right next to a highway and was apparently placed by someone who loved the sound of engine breaking. I probably have tire rubber dust settling on everything outside.
