Cloth tea pouches?

When I ordered some tea at a cafe recently, rather than place the loose tea in a tea ball or basket, they placed the leaves in a rectangular cloth-like pouch. The bottom of the pouch with the tea steeped in the mug, but the pouch was long enough such that the top hung out over the top of the mug, allowing me to easily remove it, and with no tea ball to clean-up. The pouches look like something that must come in bulk, and are meant to be thrown away after use, rather than cleaned and recycled.

Does anyone know where I can purchase these type of pouches?

That depends upon what you want.

If you want to reuse them, try Googling for "reusable tea bags." You'll find a number of providers of fabric bags.

If you're looking for paper pouches that you can fill and dispose of, I know that Teeli in Germany makes some. Try Googling for "Teeli paper tea bags" or "empty paper tea bags."

Also, consider your local natural foods (granola and nuts) grocery store. Ours has them both in the tea section...or were they with the spices?

My local tea shoppe sells them. They're called TeeFilter Teeli Flip by a German company see

. My box is in German. They're like a kangaroo pouch with a long flip to hange from the rim. They come in small, medium, large. I have the large for the big pots with no infusers 100/box. You can load them up and resuse multiple times, they don't tear. Cloth like but still tissue of some kind.
