How do you bag your own tea?

To bag your own tea, you need tea and tea bags, and you'll also need string and a tag. Here's how:

Steps to Make Your Own Tea Bags

1. Prepare Your Materials: Gather your loose leaf tea, empty tea bags (available online or at specialty stores), string, and tags. You'll also want scissors to cut the string.
2. Fill the Tea Bags: Carefully spoon your chosen tea blend into the empty tea bags. Be sure not to overfill, as the tea needs room to expand when steeped.
3. Close the Bag: Some tea bags have a drawstring; if yours do, pull it tight. Alternatively, for bags that require sealing, fold the top of the bag over.
4. Attach String and Tag (Optional):
   • Cut a piece of string.
   • Attach the string securely to the top of the bag, either by tying it to the drawstring or threading it through a folded top.
   • Attach a tag to the end of the string. This is helpful for identifying your blend.
     • As shown in the reference from the video DIY Homemade Tea Bags: Perfect Gift, you can attach a tag to the string to identify your blend.

Here is a summary in a table format:
