Where can I buy mylar bags to store teas in???

Hi all:



My first thread here on rec.food.drink.tea



Does anybody know where I can get small mylar bags where I can place some tea and seal it? You know, like those small, metallic, air-tight pouches used by tea merchants to send tea samples in...



Thanks for your help in advance.

as they offer smaller quantities and they have a wide selection. I have been doing business with them for about 7 years now and have always been happy.

Mike, Thanks! I assume you got the mylar bag that is pictured on your website (with the nitrogen filling instruction) from Sorbentsystem? The bag you use (the one on your website) is exactly the kind I'm looking for.

I will check sorbentsystems out. Thx again.

Yes, that is where I got those exact bags. If memory serves the bag on my nitro page is 4.5mil and about 3.5"X6.5" which I dont see offered at the moment. It was probably one of those "special" deals that is no longer offered because it is not being made in mass quantities any more.

Over the years they run different specials on certain bags, because they are running mass quantities for someone else, and I usually will stock up on those special deals. For example right now they are running this special

which IMHO is a good deal for small quantitity lots.

Pay attention to the thickness of your bags and make sure your sealer can handle them. This site is also where I bought the sealer you see in the nitro pics. The "specification" link on their specials page is broken but that bag is made from this 4.5mil material

which is very suitable for tea. To give a comparison, the common potatoe chip bag is about

1.5mil.

Brandmydispo offers custom mylar bags at a low cost. Especially if you are looking for bulk mylar.
