It is not necessarily a good idea to put tea bags directly in the compost.
The tea leaves on the inside of the tea bag are fully compostable, but in general, the bags themselves may not be. Some tea companies use nylon tea bags, and even when the bags are made of paper, they can contain sealants made of plastic, which will not break down fully.
Check that your tea bags are marked as 100% biodegradable before adding them to compost; otherwise, break open the tea bags, put the inside in the compost, and the tea bag itself in the trash. And consider buying loose-leaf tea: it is always 100% compostable.

Does tea make good compost?
Yes, used tea leaves makes outstanding compost. Finely broken tea can be mixed in directly to soil, and coarser, large tea leaves can either be used as a coarse leaf mulch, or added to a compost pile or heap where they will quickly break down into nutrient-rich soil. Be cautious, however, when using tea bags. Many tea bags are not biodegradable. Some are made of nylon, and others may be made of paper but have plastic sealant used to seal the bags, and may not break down completely. It is safest to either use loose-leaf tea (the more sustainable option), or to break open the tea bags before composting the contents of them.

Does using tea in plant soil help them grow?
Soil pH can be acidic, neutral, or alkaline. Caffeinated tea is low acidic. Ginger tea is less alkaline than green tea, and herbal teas are the most alkaline. Adding tea grounds to soil does not significantly change pH. Neither does adding a tea drink. However, the latter does add moisture to soil. What helps plant and soil health is compost. Tea bags, grounds and leaves break down quickly, in compost piles. Using the finished compost as mulch, fertilizer, or compost tea improves soil and therefore plant health. For example, there has been research to show that coffee grounds and tea leaves within compost may help make iron more available to radish roots.
