Did you know that Enebro Teas in space 315 sells tea bags for your loose leaf teas? Well, we do! These are a great tool to brew your tea with, but do you know how tea bags were invented?
Tea bags were invented ~BY ACCIDENT~ in 1908 in the United States by a salesman named Thomas Sullivan. He would use small silk bags to hold samples of tea for his customers. Some of them assumed that the bags were supposed to be put directly in the tea pot, like a metal infuser, rather than emptied out into another container.
One of the world’s most popular brewing methods was made on accident!
