Tea bag recs

[Anonymous]

Want to gift some teas. Person prefers tea bags. Recalls having a nice cinnamon tea in a triangle shape bag. Any recs?

Harney's Hot Cinnamon Spice (also sometimes labeled Hot Cinnamon Sunset) comes in sachets.

Forte teas. They are expensive but a really nice gift.

I like Republic of Tea a lot too.

Amazon has a surprising good selection if you search there.

Everyone should really switch to loose leaf tea + metal strainer…millions of microplastic particles released into hot water with every tea bag. It makes me sick when I see a tea bag steeping now.

Same. And I unknowingly drank tons of tea from the microplastic bags for years.

I have been a tea person for decades, and ITA with this. Since it was pointed out to me that this is the case, I actually find I have an aversion to teat bags. The "fancy" ones that look silky are the worst offenders.

Stash tea says their bags do not contain microplastics

Republic of Tea are my favorite. The bags are unbleached paper, not plastic

Harney's comes in pretty tins.

Palais des Thes teabags are good too.

She is probably referencing the Tea Forte holiday teas

Your post is a tad misleading. A metal strainer is not the only way. Many organic brands use bleach free non plastic tea bags. I use bleach free tea bags that have no glue, are odorless, biodegradable & compostable

Are you sure they like cinnamon? Do you know their tea taste?
