Default pouring old tea into the garden?

"Emery Davis" wrote in message ...

We're wondering if there's any benefit to this. We have a teasmade which
the wife prepares with a typhoo tea bag for the morning cuppa. The bag
goes in the compost, but there's always a little strong tea left in the
bottom of the pot. The other day I observed her throwing this into the
front garden, assuming (like coffee grounds which we throw in directly
sometimes) it would be of some benefit.

What's the assembled wisdom? Should old tea be poured directly into the
garden?

Thanks!

We gave up on putting tea bags in the compost as the bags don't break down.
As for the old tea, no isea, ours goes down the sink.
