Ditch the plastic tea bags (yes most tea bags are plastic and can not be composted!) and instead opt for this stainless steel tea infuser.  Use over and over again and create no waste.  Just the tea leaves you can compost. 

Hot to Use:

Squeeze the handle together to open the mesh tea infuser. Add your favorite tea into the mesh infuser ball, steep in hot water for recommended time and remove infuser from vessel.  

A simple yet well designed tool.
