Disposable Filter Cotton Drawstring Teal%EF%BC%883 54 Reviews Summary

Usability

Pros:

• "These bags were clean with no smell. They were easy to tie. No residue seeped out like it does with my metal filters."
• "Easy to load with tea. Good sturdy bag. Doesn’t fall apart. And keeps the tea leaves where they belong!"
• "Quick and easy to use. Just add your loose leaf tea and tie the bag and drop in your water."
• "The bags are strong enough so I can squeeze the liquid from them before I toss them into the trash."
• "These tea bags are easy and quick to use. you can knot the string to prevent tea leaves from escaping."
• "These bags are so cute and easy to use. I love the drawstring handle, it makes it much easier to get the bag out of the cup without dripping."
• "These drawstring bags are great! They are super easy to fill and to close by simply pulling the drawstring tight and tying a knot in it."

Cons:

• "Only drawback - the strings also absorb the moisture and begin to leak outside of the cup."
• "They're too thick and bulky. By being this thick they tend to float on the water instead of sinking down in the water to brew."
• "They're fine but it's very hard To get them to close so sometimes the tea floats out."
• "The only setback for me is the drawstring needing to be tied into a knot once the teabag is prepared."
• "The tops don't cinch super tight, but I haven't had a problem with leaks."
• "The only issue is if you like to leave the bag in, the rope is like a wick that sucks out the tea."
• "Tea bags don’t stay closed."

Material Quality

Pros:

• "These are durable bags that do not disintegrate when submerged."
• "They're stronger than the paper ones, so I don't accidentally tear them while putting my herbs in."
• "These are some of the strongest tea bags I've ever used."
• "Bags are well made, hold the tea and easy to use."
• "These bags do an excellent job of keeping contents inside."
• "These bags are the perfect solution for loose leaf tea lovers that often forget to clean out their cute little loose tea steeper baskets."
• "These bags are great! I picked wild tea and used these bags to hold the material. Each bag was big enough to hold enough tea to make a whole pot. Shared with friends and family."

Cons:

• "I am giving this product a 3 star rating because I do not believe they are 100% cotton as advertised online."
• "These are NOT cotton, except for perhaps the drawstring but are made of some unknown 'woven material' that is bleached and from China so no telling what chemicals they were bleached with."
• "The bags are made out of a plastic fibre, non-woven material, they appear to be non-bio degradable."
• "These are advertised as biodegradable cotton, and they're not. They're plastic garbage."
• "I don't think these bags are made of cotton. The material feels like polyester."
• "Seem well made, its some kind of synthetic material, similar to the inner layer of a face mask."
• "These are not cotton. They feel like some kind of artificial fiber."

Size and Fit

Pros:

• "These bags are a really great size. They work well to make a full 6 cup pot of tea, but also a good size to make a cup with loose leaf."
• "Each teabag is able to hold a pretty large amount."
• "These bags are perfect for the finely ground herbal teas that my daughter buys for me."
• "400 tea bags, self-closing with the built-in ties. I love these bags! Perfect size for a perfect brew."

Cons:

• "These were smaller than I expected but still adequate."
• "They get 4 stars because they’re a bit too small."
• "These are monstrous. They are useful for an entire teapot full of tea, but most definitely not suitable for a single cup of tea."
• "The bag is about the size of the palm of your hand. Not 'large' and definitely not reusable."
• "I can barely get my loose herbals into the bag. I don't want to use 2 tea bags per cup of tea so this is quite a feat."

Environmental Impact

Pros:

• "Disposable and biodegradable!! I will never go back to the tea ball!!!"
• "The bags & the coffee grounds will biodegrade if you compost."
• "I throw tea bags into my composter bin. They compost well."
• "Also, they are biodegradable, a plus in my book."
• "They can also be recycled if desired. When done, can be used as plant nurseries included the tea materials."

Cons:

• "It's unfortunate that more plastic is being used to separate them, however I wouldn't think there'd be a more viable alternative at this time to make it more convenient to easily sort out and store them."
• "Coffee pods are WAY over priced for what you get and create so much garbage for the landfill."
• "When purchasing this item I just looked at the star rating and didn’t realize it wasn’t biodegradable."
• "Most Tea bags do have an amount of plastic in them, and it should be mandatory for every country to be honest about the material of their products."
• "NOT made of cotton or any other natural fiber, and they float."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "This was the best value that I could find on Amazon as far as number of bags for the price tag."
• "Very nice product at a nice price."
• "Great price and arrived quickly."
• "Most of all, the price is excellent."

Cons:

• "I’ve been buying these by the 100 count for two years. I bought the 400 count recently and the weave is different on them. Disappointed."
• "The cost was just getting to be more than I wanted to pay."
