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.
No, you should not use tea bags in a Keurig machine as it is designed for coffee pods. Using tea bags can clog the machine and affect the flavor of your drink.
No, it is not recommended to put tea bags in a Keurig machine to brew tea. Keurig machines are designed for use with K-Cup pods, not tea bags.
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
To make strong tea that is full of flavor and aroma, use a higher ratio of tea leaves to water, steep the tea for a longer period of time, and use freshly boiled water. Additionally, consider using loose leaf tea instead of tea bags for a more robust flavor.

Expired tea bags are unlikely to make you sick, but the taste and quality of the tea may be compromised. It's best to check the expiration date and use fresh tea bags for the best flavor and experience.
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.
