Plastic Tea Bag Risks
A study published in *npj Science of Food* found that tea bags from four brands released an average of 555 to 2,498 microplastic particles per cup when steeped for three minutes in water at 95°C. The researchers also detected bisphenol A and plasticizing compounds in every sample. They estimated that the amount of bisphenol A ranged from 4.55% to 21.70% of the tolerable daily intake. However, the study did not directly measure health effects and does not prove that the tea bags cause harm; the risks require further research. To reduce exposure, the researchers recommended using loose-leaf tea brewed in ceramic or metal vessels, and rinsing the leaves with cold water before use.
