I hate throwing away all these spent tea leaves and not doing anything useful with them..anyone know how to, or if, you can compost them, or if they're any good for mulch? I know that people are using spent coffee grounds...not sure if that's just a trendy thing or not, I've never composted before...

I spread them around in my garden. They're on the acidic side, so you might also want to recycle egg shells, too (I pull the membranes out as best I can and dry the shells and collect them until I have a blender load, then powder them) unless you're putting the tea leaves on acid-loving plants. I don't bother to compost them most of the time since they make a good mulch.
