Yes, tea bags can attract and harbor bugs, such as pantry pests like moths or weevils, especially if they are not stored properly. If tea bags are kept in a humid environment or not sealed tightly, they may become a target for insects. It's important to store tea bags in a cool, dry place and in airtight containers to minimize the risk of infestation. Regularly checking for any signs of bugs can help maintain the quality of your 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.
