Your daily cup of tea is meant to be comforting, nourishing, and grounding—but did you know that most tea bags may be adding something unexpected to your cup?
Many modern tea bags, especially the “silky” or pyramid-style ones, are made with plastics like nylon or PET (polyethylene terephthalate). When these bags are steeped in hot water, research shows they can release microplastics—tiny plastic particles—directly into your tea.
While scientists are still studying the long-term health effects of consuming microplastics, reducing unnecessary exposure is a simple step toward more mindful wellness.
How to enjoy a cleaner cup of tea:
-
Choose loose leaf tea and steep it with a stainless steel or ceramic infuser
-
Look for 100% plant-based, plastic-free tea bags
-
Avoid “silky” or mesh tea bags unless they clearly state they’re plastic-free
