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.

Me too :-)

I have never had the nerve to use it directly as a peat substitute,
but I can think of few reasons not to. Black tea is, after all,
only partially composted leaves ....

May I take it that you found something innocuous but equally repulsive
to give to the giver?
