All Tea Bags
Our biodegradable tea bags offer convenience with no sacrifice in taste. We use the same tea that we sell as loose leaf tea, packed into spacious pyramid-shaped bags that allow the whole leaves to infuse properly. The result is a delicious, full-flavoured cup, from crisp green tea bags and smooth black tea bags, to soothing herbal tea bags for caffeine-free moments.

Tea Bags Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do you make a good cup of tea with tea bags?
Use freshly boiled water suited to the tea in question, pour it over the bag in a mug or pot, and infuse for two to five minutes depending on style, our infusion temperature guide has exact timings by tea type. Because JING's pyramid bags hold the same whole-leaf tea as our loose-leaf range, there's room for the leaf to unfurl fully, giving a fuller cup than a flat bag allows. -
Are pyramid tea bags better than standard flat tea bags?
Pyramid bags give whole leaves the space to unfurl and release their full flavour, unlike flat bags, which are typically filled with dust and fannings, the leftover fragments of leaf processing. JING's pyramid bags contain the same whole-leaf teas used across our loose-leaf range, so you get comparable depth and character without needing to measure leaves yourself. -
Are JING's tea bags biodegradable, or do they contain plastic?
Many mainstream tea bags use a small amount of plastic to help seal them, which can affect how well they break down. JING's pyramid bags are made from a plant-based, biodegradable material with no plastic sealing, full detail on composting and recycling is in our general FAQs. It's a small design choice that reflects the same standard we hold the tea itself to. -
What's the difference between loose leaf tea and tea bags?
The tea itself needn't differ, JING's tea bags use the same whole, unbroken leaves as our loose-leaf tea, simply measured into a biodegradable pyramid for convenience. Loose leaf gives you more control over strength and often more infusions per serving; tea bags trade a little of that flexibility for speed, without sacrificing the quality of the leaf. -
How long should you infuse a tea bag for?
It depends on the tea: black teas generally need three to five minutes, green teas closer to two to three, and herbal infusions five minutes or longer. Infuse for too long and delicate leaves can turn bitter, better to under-infuse and taste as you go, especially with whole-leaf pyramid bags, where there's real character to draw out.
