What is a "tea bag"?
A tea bag is a small, absorbent pouch or sachet containing dried tea leaves, herbs, or fruit pieces that are used to brew a single serving of tea. The tea bag is typically made from filter paper or a similar material that allows water to flow through while containing the tea leaves inside. To prepare tea, the tea bag is placed in a cup or teapot, hot water is poured over it, and the tea is allowed to steep for a few minutes to infuse the water with flavor. Once steeped, the tea bag is typically removed, and the brewed tea can be enjoyed.
