Tea Bags vs. Instant Premix: What's Better for Your Body?
Tea is the comfort ritual of millions — but have you ever paused to wonder:
Are tea bags actually safe to use every day?
In this post, we break down the truth behind traditional tea bags, the hidden concerns around plastics, long-term health effects, and introduce you to a safer, health-conscious alternative.
🔍 Are Tea Bags Made of Plastic?
Yes — shockingly, many commercial tea bags contain microplastics.
Most paper tea bags are treated with epichlorohydrin, a potential carcinogen, to prevent tearing. Others — especially pyramid-style or silky tea bags — are made using nylon or PET plastic, which release microplastics when steeped in hot water.
⚠️ Why This Matters:
Boiling water can cause plastic particles to leach into your tea
Long-term exposure to microplastics may disrupt hormones and increase health risks
These plastics are non-biodegradable, making them harmful to the environment too
🧠 Are Tea Bags Harmful in the Long Run?
While one cup won’t hurt, daily exposure to plastic tea bags can add up.
Here’s what studies suggest:
Potential chemical leaching from plastic materials
Risk of hormonal imbalance and endocrine disruption
Contribution to microplastic accumulation in the human body
Dental and gut issues from prolonged exposure to chemical binders
If you’re drinking tea for health, this might defeat the purpose.
