Frequently Asked Questions About Whole Leaf Green Tea Bags
Our teabags are made from plant-based materials and corn starch. They are 100% biodegradable and easy to compost. They are designed for convenient whole-leaf tea brewing. The pyramid bags use an ultrasonic sealing process, with no glue or staples used to attach the tag, string, or seal the bag.
Check the material and construction rather than relying only on the word "biodegradable" on the packaging. Mark T. Wendell Tea Company’s pyramid tea bags are made from plant-based, compostable material and are designed as a biodegradable alternative to conventional tea bags.
The biggest difference is the amount of room available for the tea leaves. Mark T. Wendell Tea Company’s whole leaf pyramid teabags provide more space for the leaves to unfurl and expand, while still allowing water to circulate around the leaves. This helps the leaves release their flavors efficiently while giving you the convenience of a teabag.
The biodegradable material itself does not determine the flavor, but the whole-leaf design can make a noticeable difference in the brewing experience. Because the pyramid teabags give the leaves more room to expand and allow water to penetrate the leaves, they can provide efficient flavor and aroma extraction compared with more restrictive conventional teabags.
