Bagged tea is a convenient and fast way of drinking tea, and the choice of tea bag material has a significant impact on the taste and quality of the tea leaves. In the processing of tea bags, commonly used tea bag materials include corn fiber paper and non-woven fabric. This article will introduce the characteristics and advantages and disadvantages of these two materials, helping readers better understand the processing and production process of tea bags.
Corn fiber paper tea bag
Corn fiber paper is an environmentally friendly paper material made from corn starch. As a common material for tea bags, corn fiber paper has the following characteristics and advantages:
Environmentally friendly and biodegradable: Corn fiber paper is made from renewable resources, easy to degrade, and environmentally friendly. After use, tea bags can be disposed of together with regular garbage without causing any burden on the environment.
Lightweight quality: Corn fiber paper has a lighter weight, which is beneficial for transportation and packaging. At the same time, lightweight tea bags are not easy to sink when soaked in hot water, and are easy to suspend in water, making brewing convenient.
Good filtration performance: Corn fiber paper has strong filtration performance, which can effectively separate tea leaves and tea soup, making tea leaves more fully soaked in water and having a richer taste.
Moderate cost: Compared to other high-end tea bag materials, corn fiber paper has a relatively low cost and is suitable for large-scale production and sales.
However, corn fiber paper tea bags also have some shortcomings. Firstly, corn fiber paper has relatively low strength and toughness, making it prone to cracking or deformation during soaking. In addition, due to the smooth surface of corn fiber paper, tea leaves are prone to slip or gather in the corners of the tea bag, resulting in uneven distribution of tea leaves.
Non woven tea bag
Non woven fabric is a type of non-woven fabric made from short or long fibers. In the field of tea bags, polyester spunbond non-woven fabric is often used as one of the materials for tea bags, with the following characteristics and advantages:
Strong durability: Polyester spunbond non-woven fabric has strong durability and tear resistance. Compared with corn fiber paper tea bags, non-woven tea bags are not easily broken or deformed during use. This helps to extend the lifespan of tea bags and improve the consumer experience.
Good filtration performance: Polyester spunbond non-woven fabric has certain filtration performance and can effectively separate tea leaves and tea soup. At the same time, non-woven fabric has larger pores, which is conducive to fully soaking tea leaves in hot water and releasing a rich taste.
Environmentally friendly and biodegradable: Similar to corn fiber paper, polyester spunbond non-woven fabric is also an environmentally friendly material that is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. After use, tea bags can be disposed of together with regular garbage without causing any burden on the environment.
Moderate cost: The cost of polyester spunbond non-woven fabric is relatively low, suitable for large-scale production and sales.
Conclusion
In summary, corn fiber paper and non-woven fabric are two commonly used materials for making tea bags. They each have different characteristics and advantages, and brand owners should fully consider product positioning, cost-effectiveness, and consumer needs when choosing suitable materials. At the same time, processing enterprises should pay attention to improving the quality and performance of materials in the production process, ensuring that the taste and quality of tea bags reach the best level.
Dongguan Liansheng Non woven Technology Co., Ltd. was established in May 2020. It is a large-scale non-woven fabric production enterprise integrating research and development, production, and sales. It can produce various colors of PP spunbond non-woven fabrics with a width of less than 3.2 meters from 9 grams to 300 grams.
