Envelope tea bags are a useful option for tea drinkers who like a quick, fresh and easy teabag either on the go or at home. The individual tea bags are actually enclosed one by one in each little envelope, along with a string and tag to assist with steeping and eventually removing the tea bag ready to drink. As the tea bag is full sealed, this helps to keep the tea fresh and of a high quality when you choose to open it. Miles Tea & Coffee offer a range of different types of envelope tea bags, from black & green tea to fruit & herbal. If you’re still not sure, why not grab a sample with your next usual order and see for yourself!?
Frequently Asked Questions
Envelope tea bags, are simply individually packed tea bags inside some form of packaging which seals the tea bag on the inside – like an envelope. The benefit of these teabags is that they can be quickly placed into a cup or pot, with the string and tag dangled on the outside so that when the steeping is finish it is easy to simply remove. As they are completely airtight, the flavour and aroma of the tea is preserved nicely. They are a great option for taking away on holidays or on long journey’s where you can’t go without your favourite cuppa!
Brewing Miles’s envelope teabags is much the same as any other teabag, but perhaps even easier. Pop the kettle on and make sure the water starts to boil. Whilst this is happening you can unwrap the envelope and put the tea bag into your cup or pot. Make sure to hang the tag over the edge so that you can easily take the bag out later. Now your water has boiled, carefully fill your cup or pot with the boiling water, whilst holding the tag so that it doesn’t get pulled in. Please be careful when holding the tag to not burn yourself on the boiling water. You can now leave your bag in to steep for however long you’d like but likely 3-5 minutes is best, depending on how strong you like your brew. When ready, you can simply pull the teabag out using the string/tag and dispose of your teabag. Feel free to add in any milk, sugar or honey etc as you feel fit & enjoy!
There are many well-known brands such as Twinings, Yorkshire Tea & PG Tips that make their own envelope teabags, however, in our humble opinion, Miles’ are the best. Our envelopes are bright & colourful, which means they look great even before you get the chance to enjoy the drink inside. Ranging across all types of tea from English breakfast to green to earl grey and many more, there is a choice for everyone! You may hear that some people prefer another brand and whilst we do respect the loyalty, we can only assume its because they’ve not yet tried Miles’ yet!
