Tea bags releasing 'millions' of microplastics into tea, study shows

...in my experience, polyester teabags never really took off stateside: it's only imported british mass-market teas which did the fused-pyramidal-bag thing as a product differentiator...stateside,i occasionally see boutique teas with fused polyester bags + strings, but i expect they'll change in short order based upon this controversy...

...if your tea uses folded-paper bags stapled or tied-off with cotton string, you're safe...
