Can anyone recommend a tea bag that will rot down in the compost.
Typhoo tea bags seem to leave a fine plastic net behind them.

Hi Peter,
I was in the habit on discarding tea bags into my compost bin, I also found that even after a year they had not broken down. I now dry said tea bags, rip them open and save the leaves in a container. The bags I discard to the rubbish bin, I think that they must be using some form of synthetic mesh.
What worries me is that we don't know what it is made from, what worries me more is that we are drinking tea which may not be safe for human consumption!!!
