    Buy loose tea and tea bags.
    Test tea bags by burning them. No residue? They should be free of plastics.

      Or: a reusable metal tea strainer. You just need to take 2 minutes every time to clean it but they’re no excess waste whatsoever

        I tried this but I always end up with tea leaves floating around my cup

          Then you either need a strainer with a finer mesh or smaller holes, or courser ground tea. I‘d recommend the former. My strainer has very small holes and at worst there’s a bit of tea power at the bottom of my cup
