tea bags
Steeping leaf packets
Tea bags are small porous pouches containing dried tea leaves, designed for steeping in hot water.
The bag eliminates the need to strain loose leaves.
Most commercial tea comes in bags, though tea enthusiasts often prefer loose-leaf varieties for better flavor.
To tea-bag someone is vulgar slang for lowering one's scrotum onto their face—the shape resembling a dangling tea bag.
