She uses loose tea
You have 453 g in a pound of tea. There is 2-3 g in a tea bag on average. I sell tea so I know what the average would be. You would get 226-151 bags of tea. If you are using loose tea in bags 1.5 g would be the average used in a loose tea bag so you would get 302 loose tea bags. Geordie You have 453 g in a pound of tea.

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.
You could, but it isn't advisable as the "tea" in a tea bag is closer to powder than to loose leaf tea. When making tea bags the companies tend to use the parts left at the bottom of a loose leave style of tea. I have yet to find a tea strainer that will take the "bits" out of the tea. Even if your purpose in using the tea is to "read" the leaves, the powder is so fine the reading is rarely accurate.
Usually I do around four tea bags for each quart of tea. It varies. If you are making iced tea, it will require more tea bags to be used.
lipton tea bags
They first appeared comercially in 1904 and were marketed by a coffee and tea merchant, Thomas Sulllivan. The loose tea was supposed to be removed from the bags, but most drinkers did not bother. Heat sealed paper tea bags came into use in 1930. The bag used mostly today was perfected in 1944

I have frozen both loose tea and tea bags. I make sure they are in unopened boxes/bags, then pack them in a couple of heavy duty freezer bags. I can usually keep them for a few months, since I drink lots of tea and like strong English or Canadian tea.
Yes
No, contrary to popular opinion, tea or tea bags are of no further use.
Tea bags were invented by Thomas Sullivan, a tea merchant in New York City in the early 20th century. He sent out samples of tea in small silk bags that customers could steep in hot water. The convenience and ease of use led to the widespread popularity of tea bags.
Normally one tea bag per cup.
