Nah. We were clearing out cupboards and there were some ancient
ones - not used because I don't like them much and use leaf tea.
We were also given some special tea bags that were singularly
repulsive (e.g. with added rhubarb and samphire) that got the
same treatment.

Yep, my position, too. Though I have also composted stale leaf tea in
my time.
