A kind of tea · also called Teabag
About
A tea bag is a small, lightweight paper pouch designed to hold a single serving of dried leaves for steeping.
While standard rectangular pouches are the most common, tea bags also come in circular and pyramid shapes that hold a similar volume of leaves. Larger brewing pouches made for pitchers of iced tea can weigh three to four times more than a single-serving bag. Despite weighing only a fraction of an ounce, the dried contents inside expand noticeably once soaked in hot water.
From Wikipedia
A tea bag is a small, porous, sealed bag or packet typically containing tea leaves or the leaves of other herbs, which is immersed in water to steep and make an infusion. Originally used only for making tea, they are now made for other tisanes as well.
