Definitely larger than other filters I've tried, but that can be nice with the loose teas. No off flavors or anything detected, either.
Enjoy loose tea anywhere with these tea accessories... convenient and easy-to-use disposable empty tea bags. Each box contains 100 filters.

Love the paper filter! it is convenient to make your favorite tea.
Love these paper filters! I use them all the time and they work really well. It works especially well at the office where I don't have access to a kitchen sink, so I can still make loose leaf tea without having to clean up a stainless steel steeper, etc. I'd definitely order more when I run out!
It's nice to have on the go with your loose leaf teas. They're very reasonably priced too.
A bit oddly shaped, in that they're really tall and supposed to stick out of your cup, I guess? Not what I'm used to but they work, and don't let any bits of tea get into the mug.
These are very convenient and don't have the musky smell or taste like other reviewers mentioned. However, they're very large and would probably work better for teapots than individual cups. I like using these for smaller teas (like rooibos) that would otherwise escape a tea ball or other infusers. They're very reasonably priced as well and I will continue to purchase them.
I use these every day, and they work great. It keeps the tea fresh in between steeping, and doesn't impact the flavor one bit. Very inexpensive for how many you get as well. Great value.
Great for travel, doesn't seem to affect to tea's taste.
Exactly what our house needed for the rooibos. I love my ForLife strainers (they're absolutely amazing, better than any tea-ball ever) but while they are king of the camillia sinensis, the rooibos just needs a paper filter.
I like these paper filters, really useful for single mug use or teapot. No need to squeeze your leaves into a tiny tea egg. My only issue: wish Adagio made them available in more than one size. They range from single use size to extra large. We like the xl ones which are wider than the ones found here, great for large pots, or tea leaves that require extra room for brewing.
Another item I purchased for my girlfriend. She really thought they worked great and were handy when she just wanted a quick cup of tea.
Bigger than I was expecting, but work perfectly none the less, so I'm happy!
Perfect for mobile tea brewing. I got these specifically for rooibos and they work great.
Perfect filter. It does not alter the taste, durable for steeping twice, amount of tea is titratable, and easy cleanup.
As a family, we are downright religious about our ecological output~ so obviously, tea bags seem an almost selfish luxury. I adore loose tea, and the freedom it gives me to blend at my own will. but there are certainly times when taking the whole infuser isn't always convenient or possible.
For $3.00 Adagio gave me a lovely box of 100 'taste neutral wood and hemp fiber' paper filters. The price was more than fair, in my opinion, and I felt less guilty knowing they were made with sustainable and biodegradable materials.
The filters/bags themselves are rather large. rectangular shaped, with an open to than folds over into a quasi-seal. The size is, I assume, meant to benefit the use of loose tea- loose tea is a higher caliber in terms of quality, but it needs more room to unfurl. However, the shape of these- long and narrow- seem counter-productive to that. I used to buy these cone shaped bags that you stuck a chopstick through the top of, to hold it in place over your cup, and they were smaller in size, but the cone shape lent itself to the tea being able to unfurl.
But for $3.00, you really can't beat these. They do the job, they're strong enough to hold up to a second steep if you want to re-brew, and I've yet to brew a bad cup using them. They also make for great blending- I can make up a couple different blends, and either pack them, or give them to friends to try, and it's much easier than using baggies.
Definitely worth the money, and a staple for any frequent tea drinkers.
Perfect for work and home. Stands up in my tea pot and I also use them for a cup if I don't have anything else available.
These are very convenient for work. They left no lingering taste in the tea.
Very convenient. The shape is also the most reasonable as compared to similar products elsewhere.
Best tea bags for a relatively cheap price. The flavor wasn't off or anything, but I did make the mistake of falling asleep with it still steeping and it proved quite difficult to get off of my mug in the morning. But that's user error!
While normally we stick to the reusable metal filters, these disposable filters work just fine for making up a to go cup or when we're serving tea to multiple people who all prefer a different flavor. I've been dropping in the (very casual) compost pile and they are decomposing just fine there.
These work pretty well! Have a napkin handy though, to pick up drips of liquid as they wick up the filter and onto your desk.
These are pretty darn convenient. I did not detect any of the issues like those that got a bad batch.
Like these as a backup to using actual infusers. Only question is why are these filters soooo large?
Just put any amount of tea in the filter and fold it over the edge of the cup. They work very well and you can even make your own different tea bags by folding and stapling them shut! If you have any tea loving friends I'm sure they'd be happy to get those tea bags as a gift...
I love using these to make my tea. No fuss, no mess, not having to clean out or keep track of a tea ball, just a good cup of tea.
These are super convenient when I am traveling. There does seem to be a little taste transfer but I can live with it rather than go without my tea. .)
Had no taste issues, and it worked perfectly. I had no tea leaves in my cup and the tea tasted just as good as it does as when I use the Ingenuitea.
I got this as a gift for my father. As far as I know they're not any different from run of the mill paper infusers and I have heard no complaints.
These are so useful. I've become kind of dependent on them, but that's fine. ha! I learned early, though, that you have to hold the top of the filter to keep it from flipping around as the water pours in and spilling the tea inside the cup.
I saw the other reviews about the weird smell - I ordered mine in August 2013 and there is no strange smell or taste. I obviously can't speak for everyone, though.
This is waaaaay convenient and an easy way for me to take tea places!
I love these for making iced tea! I throw three tea spoons of tea in a bag, then throw it in a pot of boiling water. No tea leaves that you have to wash out, just throw it away.
No tea bits escaping through mesh filters into my tea! Yay! I love these and will definitely be ordering more.
Love these paper filters. They are the perfect size to make a cup or a whole pot of tea.
The filters are large and the way they're made lend well for water to get to your leaves. However, they're made more for teapot brewing instead of individual cups. I'd really like some filters made smaller for cups please!
Very good, a tinge bit big for single cups, but it still works wonderfully!
I love the paper filters. I also use them to introduce friends to loose teas that I like.
These filters are a great alternative to infusers. My teapots don't have infusers so I was worried to how I was to steep the tea ,but these paper filters did the job very well. Also, the clean up is much faster because you just take out the filter and throw out. Tea ball infusers are tedious to clean.
These are perfect for tea! They add no flavor and are very easy to use, thanks to the long flap above the opening. I always hate running out.
these are great.. and 100 for 3 dollars is a great deal. no fuss. great for traveling. do far haven't noticed any taste issues.
I was a little concerned about ordering these after reading several reviews that said there was a bad taste. After several cups of tea, I can say that these filters leave no taste at all, and at $3 for 100, they are a great deal.
Very good. They get the job done and don't break on me when used with a LOT of tea.
Love these. I usually just make a good carafe at home with my tea maker, but these are nice for when I'm on the go and don't have the time to wait around. Gets the job done for a good price and amount.
So I make my tea water in a coffee machine, and these were really helpful before I got a strainer. Can make any size and any strength pot. Lots of room. Really durable.
I bought these for the cups my diffuser won't fit inside and man are they crazy handy. I was a bit worried, seeing previous reviews on a bad batch, but it was all for nothing. These are absolutely great and I'll probably need more soon!
Perfect for rooibos and honeybush as they're too fine for the IngenuiTEA.
These paper filters are so convenient when at work. I no longer have to go dump leaves out of a tea diffuser and clean it out. I can just pop these in the trash!
These are larger than most of the paper filters I've tried, and are easier to fill. They would work equally well for a pot of tea or a cup.
Update: Thank you, adagio, for solving the tea bags problem. The new batch is visibly different from previous tea bags. The paper is thinner and whiter and it no longer has that strong chemically smell that was so off putting earlier. The price point is great too.
They work ok, but a faint weird smell upon contact with hot water is still there. I like these filters for their convenience but might have to look elsewhere for better quality.
A great purchase, and so cheap that I'll always have some on hand whenever I travel or use a tea pot with no internal mechanism for filtering the leaves out. The bags imparted no additional flavor to the tea, they were strong enough to deal with hefty servings for large quantities, and they do not tear when you remove them, which is worth noting. I think they are also spacious enough as to not hinder the unfurling leaves in varieties like Yunnan Noir, which is a big plus.
These filters are fantastic. Their size allows one to brew a cup but also a whole pot or even a whole quart of iced tea! (Which I have done.) They have no aftertaste to me, so that issue has been resolved. I'm happy with this product.
