Can you put Tea bags in compost?
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.

It all depends on how you make it. If your making compost tea from YOUR OWN compost and maybe some small additives like Mollasses then no it will not. However once you start introducing other composts like Bat droppings or sea kelp then your going to be adding non-local minerals and bacteria that can be potentially harmful. Play it safe and use 1-2lbs of your own finished compost in a 5 gallon or so pail of non-chlorinated water (do not use city water) and aerate the mix for a minimum of 24 hours. You can either use full strenght but it may burn some more sensitive plants (cucumbers for example) so for those you can dilute it 50/50 compost tea to water. Enjoy!
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.

It also serves as a dispenser of soil amendments, fertilizers and mulches once the composting process is complete.
