The silky pyramid bags are the worst. Paper bags should be ok, unfortunately a lot of bags that appear to be paper might not be, or might be mostly paper with some plastic threads holding it all together. Almost impossible to tell just by looking at it.
the tea bag was originally just a cheesecloth bag containing a loose leaf tea sample, and you were supposed to remove the tea from the bag
Meanwhile modern teabags leach microplastics into your tea when used.
Don’t buy brands that use plastic. Paper or loose leaf all the way.
Stick to old fashioned paper tea bags and you are fine. Don’t use those pyramid shaped silky ones.

Just get a small teapot and don’t worry about it. Loose leaf tea isn’t any more expensive and allows you to control how strong you are making things.
Like PG Tips?
That might’ve been the case originally, but it’s definitely not today.
lol we know
What?? I’ve been cutting my teabags open all these years! So much wasted time and effort…
