The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, a tea merchant from New York City. Sullivan began sending samples of his tea to customers in small silken bags. The customers were supposed to remove the tea leaves from the bags before brewing, but some of them found it easier to simply steep the bags in hot water. This discovery led to the development of the modern tea bag.
Tea bags quickly became popular because they were convenient and easy to use. They also helped to make tea more affordable, as they could be mass-produced and sold at a lower price than loose leaf tea.
Today, tea bags are the most popular way to brew tea in the world. Over 90% of tea consumed in the United States is brewed from tea bags.
Tea bags have also come a long way since their humble beginnings. Today, there are a wide variety of tea bags available, made from different materials and containing different types of tea. There are also tea bags that are specially designed for brewing tea in cold water.
The invention of the tea bag was a major breakthrough in the tea industry. It made tea more convenient, affordable, and accessible to people all over the world.
