Paper Tea Filters Customer Reviews

Very handy! I wish they had cotton filters though!

These are incredibly handy to have at work or school. This keeps me from having to buy bagged tea.

Do yourself a favor and buy an ingenuiTEA. These paper filters are more trouble than they are worth.

Not quite what I expected. Ok for green tea, but gets very mushy when used for other teas with a longer steep time. Too big for a regular mug.

I love these. So much easier than the tea balls which I can never find.

Work just like they should and very convenient to use at work or when traveling.

They're all paper, long and wide, so that you dip the tea in one end and let the long paper top folder over the cup while it brews. The packaging says this allows the tea much more room to circulate and steep, but for me at least, all the tea leaves bunches together at the bottom, forming a tight little knot that didn't seem any better-circulated than a regular teabag. Maybe there's a trick to it - time will tell.

The filter worked fine and left no discernable aftertaste, so I was happy. The only problem I had was the same problem I have with all filters of this ilk. The liquid wicks up to the top of it, so that despite the extra length, anyone who likes a strong brew - i.e. more than 2 minutes - will have to deal with a sopping wet strip of paper at the end of it. In theory, this is an intended 'feature' of the bag - you can tell when the steeping is done by seeing how far the liquid has wicked up through the paper. But that assumes every tea you use will require the same amount of steeping, and that's generally not the case.

Anyway, they're dirt cheap at Adagio (3 cents apiece) and well worth it. Looking forward to trying them with large batches of iced tea.

We don't have the ingenuitea for iced tead, so we use these to make pitchers. Vey easy!

I stocked up some of my teas in these things before I went off to church camp for a couple of weeks. Used a nylon string to tie them closed and used to pull them out. What a convenience! I made enough I could share my teas with people at camp and they got a good introduction to Adagio teas! They loved the tea! At 3 bucks for a hundred this is a must have!

These work great for brewing tea at work when I don't want to deal with an infuser. The price is also alot cheaper than anywhere else I've found.

A good way to enjoy loose leaf tea anywhere. I've filled a bunch of them with samples for my co-workers to try.

Very easy to use. I love to use them at work with my rooibos teas.

A huge help when your favorite teas are loose and you want to drink then at the office. Nice size too, big enough to fold over so the tea doesn't escape. Love them.

I love my ingenuitea, but it was an annoyance to clean and use at work. These bags enable me to have my wonderful loose leaf tea at work without the cleaning hassle.

Nice and handy for loose tea consumption. And they are very reasonable, too!

These filters were a great, inexpensive way to steep my tea. The only thing is that I don't know how to close the bags...are you supposed to tie them or fold over?

It simple and easy to use. No need to clean a strainer or teapot. Use it and throw it away. It's great and so easy.

Purchased to use with a Senseo single serve coffee machine and they work great. Instead of buying the limited selection of pods that are available, I can put my favorite coffee in these tea bags and have a delicous cup of coffe without any mess.
I also tried these with a Turkish tea and they worked great. No funny taste of the filter and the tea was almost as good as using a Samvora.
Would definately purchase again.

A great way to get started with loose-leaf tea. Economical and recyclable.

I have seen similar filters elsewhere for triple the price! They work great for single cups or for big pots. Highly recommended.

Quality is very good, no question. However, the filters works better for pots, as they're too large for some cups. It feels like a waste to use such an amount of paper to brew only one cup. I use them anyways when I'm in a hurry or lazy to wash the metal infuser afterwards.

These are great for the office. Tried using my ingenuiTEA at work for a while, but without a sink in the office, it was a pain. These are a much better replacement.

These are quite big, but perfect for my jumbo mugs. When you don't have time to take out your tea pot, these are perfect.

I was expecting the much smaller variety, but the size of these are growing on me. For some teas, the large size is quite advantageous. I just wet the top part and wrap it around itself, and then the size doesn't really matter. My box came half-opened, however, which didn't make the best first impression (first order).

My experience with the paper filters has been really good so far: no mess, easy to get the tea in the bag, and the best part is you can see the teas' color and texture through the bag.

I love, love, love these filters, and recommend them to anyone who enjoys loose leaf teas.

Perfect for when I'm on the go and don't really have time to use my IngenuiTEA (heat water, let steep, clean out ingenuiTEA, etc.)

I like to combine different teas...this makes it so simple and easy...great gift for people who are not so familiar with loose tea

These are great for single cups or a whole pot of tea. Easy to fill, easy to use, and we toss them right into our worm bin when we're done. Even the worms give two thumbs up - we think.

These filters are very high quality and work well for loose tea on the go.

These are great for those times when you're away from home but still want a good cup of tea--large enough for more than one cup, in fact... Perfect for those times when you want a easy clean up from making tea also.

I love the paper filters! It is so easy, better than the pots and there is no clean up.

These are good, basic filters. They're tall enough for just about any cup and generally convenient to use. My only complaint is that they're a bit narrow at the top, so you have to be a bit careful when filling them.

These are great in a pinch but I wouldn't advise using them regularly at work. They are very large for a teabag. I wish they were available at half the current size.

These things are SO much easier than any other method of preparing tea. I keep a stash at home and at work. Ingenious.

They do their job and the price is right, but I wouldnt buy them again. By means of the flap you are to hang over the glass, it 'siphons' tea from the glass to the surface it's on.

nice, but i would buy on of the cups or infusers. The tea bags seem ok for what they are but you always have to buy more

These are great for when I'm too lazy to use my metal filters, or just too busy. I have found that they cause the tea to seep out while steeping if I let the filter fold over the edge of the cup, but if I remember to prop it up it's not a problem.

What a bargin! Love the large size, I don't spill my tea all over the counter - I can actually get it in the tea bag! lol!

These are wonderful! They expand exceptionally well and do a great job allowing the water through. They are very nicely priced and makes this wonderful tea portable and easily accessable.

These are great when you don't have time to use a proper teapot or infuser.

These were great to have a single cup of tea or to use to share tea with friends by just putting it in the bag for them.

Great if unable to use tea infuser. Great taste and easy to throw away used tea.

Great for drinking loose tea at the office or when you are on the go. Easy to fill, especially when using the sample tin sizes of tea.

Nice way to enjoy tea without the strainer and make a pot of tea.

A very economical way to brew a cup of loose leaf tea. The filter holds its shape and doesn't disintegrate in the hot water. Will reorder as soon as I run out!

These are wonderful for taking with you when traveling. They are very convenient and priced reasonably.

These are perfect for me. I make little bags to take to work with me. Very reasonably priced.

I like using my Ingenuitea cup but these filters are great. If you don't like the mess you have after you steep your tea, you'll really like using these filters.

These work well because they allow the tea leave plenty of room to unfurl. I twist the tops to make them slightly more manageable
