    The study tested bags that were made out of nylon-6 and polypropalene. You should be able to check with your tea brand and see what they use. The brand I drink at home says their bags are 100% cellulose… which is, at least, a polymer also present naturally in the tea itself.

      The tea bags used for the research were made from the polymers nylon-6, polypropylene and cellulose.
