There are teabags made from plastic?? That's the dumbest thing ever! Paper seems to work pretty well, I don't think I ever had a problem with the thousands of tea bags I have used in my life.<p>This can't be cheaper to manufacture than paper bags, can it...and you can't compost them (no, PLA is not compostable)<p>Why is this even a thing?
