Some teabags either are plastic (which is generally fairly obvious) or contain plastic elements for re-enforcement or sealing (which is often not obvious) - these ones mostly just look like paper.
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoI remember those 'levitating tea bag' experiments (empty up a tea bag, open it up as an open ended cylinder, light the bottom part on fire, and it flies up), and I never smelled anything plasticky.... there are either really miniscule ammounts, or they just don't use plastics here.
