Can they be recycled? There must be at least 10 tea bags a day that end up in our compost bin but I don't fancy doing that with nylon ones?

Tea is made from the leaves of a type of camelia. Tea tree oil is distilled from the leaves of a melaleuca tree (native to Australia). An alternative spelling is Ti tree, and it has nothing to do with tea. However, cold (used) tea bags contain tannin, which is astringent, and may have some medicinal benefit.

yea, it's all marketing in my opinion. They want to create "gourmet" tea bags, and those require more space, different shapes and a material that won't tear easy. If you've noticed that they are shaped as pyramids, or satchels which might appear more durable because of the shape and amount of tea in them.
i agree with the guy that says to vote with your cash.

What denier are these nylon tea bags?
Are they sheer?
Have they got a line down the back of them?
Do they have their own suspenders?

Yes sure, nylon takes about 400 years to degrade so no problem there.
No duobt they are just looking for a gimmick to give them the sales.
vote with your cash and stay away

Nylon? I don't fancy that! It would be like using a pair of my gran's knickers.

its shocking considering we are having a hard time getting our rubbish collected due to recycling and now they give us something we cannot recycle, when will this end for the innocent consumer

What a daft idea! Wonder why? Cost? Seems like a backward step to me.

Why ?? paper has worked fine for 40yrs
They are unlikely to please environmentalists because the bags are not biodegradable.
