Product Description
These empty tea bags provide a simple and convenient way to enjoy loose leaf tea without the need for a traditional infuser or strainer. Designed to be filled with your favourite loose leaf tea, they allow the leaves to steep freely in hot water while keeping them neatly contained inside the bag.
To use, simply add your desired amount of loose leaf tea to the bag, secure it closed, and place it in your cup or teapot while brewing. The filter material allows water to flow through easily, helping to extract the full flavour and aroma of the tea while preventing loose leaves from escaping into the drink.

They are suitable for a wide range of teas including oolong, green tea, black tea and herbal infusions. The bags can also be useful when preparing homemade iced tea, helping to keep tea leaves contained while brewing before chilling.
Compact and practical, empty tea bags are a helpful accessory for anyone who enjoys brewing loose leaf tea in a quick and tidy way.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are empty tea bags used for?
Empty tea bags are used to brew loose leaf tea in a similar way to a traditional tea bag. Simply fill the bag with your preferred loose leaf tea and place it in a cup or teapot while brewing. The filter material allows water to pass through while keeping the tea leaves contained. Tea bags designed to be filled with loose leaf tea are often called empty tea bags, fill-your-own tea bags, or tea filter bags, and they provide a convenient alternative to traditional tea infusers while still allowing loose leaf tea to brew properly.
What types of tea can I use in empty tea bags?
Empty tea bags can be used with most types of loose leaf tea including oolong, green tea, black tea and herbal infusions. They work best with small to medium sized tea leaves or broken leaf teas that can fit comfortably inside the bag.
How much loose leaf tea should I put in a tea bag?
A typical cup of tea usually requires around 2–3 grams of loose leaf tea, depending on the tea type and your preferred strength. It is best not to overfill the bag so the tea leaves have enough space to expand during brewing. Half full gives a perfect amount of space for the tea leaves to expand.
Can empty tea bags be used to make iced tea?
Yes. Empty tea bags are useful for preparing homemade iced tea. Simply brew your loose leaf tea in hot water using the filled tea bag, remove the bag once brewing is complete, and allow the tea to cool before refrigerating.
Are empty tea bags reusable?
Most empty tea bags are designed for single use. However, some teas such as oolong can be brewed multiple times if the tea bag remains intact and the leaves still contain flavour.
Can I use empty tea bags in a teapot?
Yes. Empty tea bags can be placed directly into a teapot, mug or cup while brewing. They provide a convenient way to brew loose leaf tea without needing a separate tea infuser or strainer.
Are empty tea bags suitable for travel?
