While some of us prefer a good leaf tea, there's no denying the convenience of a tea bag, and most of the six cups a day we drink in Ireland are from bags. 

As well as test tasting, we looked at how committed tea producers were to eliminating plastics or other non-biodegradable sealants from their bags. If paper bags are sealed with plastic glue, they are not recyclable or compostable. This goes for plastic tea bags too, so check the labels.
