A tea bag is a small porous bag or envelope that holds tea or herbs. This bag is dipped into hot water and allowed to steep. It can then be removed to keep the tea free of loose leaves. Most tea bags are made out of a paper fibre. Tea bag paper is made primarily from abaca hemp, a product of a Philippine banana tree that is also known as Manila hemp. This hemp is bleached and processed. The tea bags are then treated with a heat-sealable thermoplastic such as PVC or polypropylene on the inside.
Glatfelter, Ahlstrom-Munksjo, Purico, Amunsen filter paper, Pelipaper (Vezirkopru) are the major players in the global tea bag paper market. The top five have about 65% of the global market share.
