T-Sac Tea Filter Bags, Disposable Tea Infuser, Number 1-Size, 1-Cup Capacity, Set of 100

I've been using these Tea Bags for years now. In the past I've always bought them from my neighborhood Peet's Coffee, but they only carry the larger size.These Size 1 bags are perfect for a single "serving" of tea. For me, that means anywhere from one cup to a larger commuter tumbler.I love good loose tea and I love having a variety to chose from. But I don't always have time to wait for a pot to steep and don't want to have to wash the teapot. If I'm drinking a lighter green tea, then there's no harm in letting it steep in my cup for a couple of hours. Sometimes I'll even refill it with hot water for a second use.I've also never been a big fan of infusers. So these single serving filter bags are the perfect way to "roll 'ur own" and get just what you want.The value is good, the quality is good, and the price is right.EDIT: I'm updating this review, because the product codes for the various sized bags have been merged and all of the reviews are lumped in together. They're very different products though.Size 1: We use these at home. My wife likes her tea a little weaker, so these are perfect for her. She drinks her tea from large tumblers, but this sized bag is still OK for her. For me, these bags really only work for a smaller cup.Size 2: I use these at work where I drink from larger cups (12oz - 20oz). These hold a lot of tea, so they work fine for me.Size 3: I accidentally bought an order of these once. Honestly, they're grotesquely large. These are big enough for a whole pot of tea. I personally don't have a use for them, but if you want to make pots of tea and don't have a proper teapot with a basket inside (or if you lose yours), then these would be the right size for you.Regardless of the size, the quality and functionality is the same. These tea bags work great. They're perfect for lovers of loose leaf tea.

I like these empty tea bags because they are not difficult to fill with 1-2 tsp. of loose tea leaves, they do not leak if the long flap is fully tucked into the bag after filling, and they can be composted. No staples or strings means you should have a way to lift and squeeze the bag after brewing (tea tongs). The bag holds up to repeated brewing, too. I like that, when fully "inflated," the bags have a flat bottom, to fill them more easily. I wanted a way to use a high quality loose tea that was waiting in its jar. This product worked so well (no adverse effect on flavor, either) that I plan to order more when needed. Shipping was good, too, and I have yet to find these bags at local stores.

Great tea bags and make it super easy to transport tea without a normal loose leaf steeler.

I love these to create my own tea bags. These were a bit too small for me, even though perfect for a one cup bag of tea. I like the size 2 ones just because they give you more to hold onto when filling. But these are great overall. And you can use an iron to close them! I make my bags in advance.

I've used, literally, about a thousand of these t-sacs (that's how they've branded the product--all lower case) over the past five years or so, in two different sizes--individual and pot. I've never had a problem with this product nor any experience with complaints that have turned up in amazon.com reviews: no funky smell, no fragility and breakage, nothing that compromises what I perceive to be a tasteless, odorless wonderfully permeable filter that lets the quality of the tea, or lack thereof, shine through. And when done brewing, toss the swollen bag into the compost heap. No need to deal with those clumsy metal strainers,T-Balls, imaginative infusers, etc. that have to be rinsed and washed and picked clean and, well, dealt with. I like just tossing the t-sac. The Zero-Defect, No Tea Dust, t-sac.And those of you who have a hard time wrangling the t-sac into compliance: hang on to the little flap-end until the cup is full, then just fold a moistened flap over to close the opening. Voila! Drape it on the lip of the cup and let it steep, and if it slides down into the deep, fish it out with a spoon. Genius, huh? (There's a little illustrated guide on the side of the no. 1 box, for people who can read 3-pt type.) I can count the number of times I've had a totally sunken bag on two hands, and maybe 2 or 3 times with the escape of leaf, normally at the hands of someone who doesn't quite know the drill. So, not quite Zero, but way out past Six Sigma.But wait! The box that contains my precious T-Sacs is...is...imperfectly perforated! And, although the packaging has changed over time, the perforation issue remains unsolved. I like the package concept: a cute little box that opens like a book. (It used to open from the top. Like a book is better.) Unlike my trusty Cut-Rite Wax Paper, which I seem to have been using all my 70 years, with its thick cardboard box and well-perforated tabs (a lot of people don't bother with these, but punching them out really makes the box a lot more functional), T-Sac boxes are so fragile, and so frequently arrive with corners bumped or crushed, and the perforation is so imperfect that I nearly destroy the box trying to get it open "like a book," so the t-sacs dispense as they should, peeling them out one at a time (although very frequently two come out stuck together). More than once, I've taped corners or flaps, simply to store the sacs the right way.That's a small beef and doesn't detract from the functioning of the T-Sac itself.BUT: what I only recently--like, 10 minutes ago--noticed on that fallible box is that the t-sacs are made from "natural and synthetic materials." t-sac's advertising copy, however, says, "Made in Germany from natural, chlorine-free, paper fibers." That's "natural" as in "all natural." For a long time, the ad copy said only that it was hemp from the Philippines.I went to the website, and this was how t-sac explained its materials and their wonders: "Tea filter paper is made of wood cellulose and cellulose from Manila fibre. For only the finest fibre is selected from the Philippines and Equador (sic) to ensure an extremely high strength of paper: and yet one square meter of this thin, fine-porous filter paper only weighs approximately 16g/m²..."Well. That's light. (And, remember, strong.) But is the synthetic material must be a wash or something? If you read your notices, herr or frau t-sac, tell your admirers about everything that's in these wonderful patented t-sacs. At this point, I don't care, for reasons I address above.So, a net four-star bravo (that would go to five if we could clarify the constituent materials). I'm still an extremely happy customer.

I use em every day

These are great for loose tea. Handy compared to the typical stainless infuser which needs cleanup post use. Additionally, the fine dust from loose tea does not leak into the cup as it does with most infusers. So, you end up with a pure cup of tea without any sediment, and the tedium of infuser clean up is gone.Surprisingly shaped, these bags flair out at the bottom letting the tea steep in a horizontal plane. They are sized just slightly roomy for a tsp. of loose tea. A 1 tsp. measure level with tea slides right in the bag. Depending on the shape a larger measure might not fit. Size wise, one might get in enough tea for 2 cups in the bag, but I haven't tried that.I recommend getting a small clip to pinch/retain the top of the bag on the cup lip as fishing them out of the bottom is tedious. The bags are long enough to reach close to the bottom of most mugs when clipped to the top edge.
