Yo, they put each teabag in plastic in the US or what? It's always paper where I live. You guys are crazy.

It's a British (registered there) brand of tea, produced in Ukraine and Russia, and mainly distributed in Europe (I personally have seen it in several EU countries). And yeah, this type of tea is always packed like this. At least they stopped using metal clips for teabags lately, from what I've seen.

It's super common around the world. My friend group is starting to focus on loose leaf tea for that exact reason.

I usually see them in paper here in the US, too. But I would imagine it depends on brand. I'm a cheapskate so I usually just get Bigelow or Lipton.

It’s also paper for some types of tea in Europe. Especially anything medicinal often has plastic.
