In June 1908, New York tea merchant Thomas Sullivan regularly sent tea samples to potential customers. To cut costs, he came up with a way to pack a few loose tea leaves in small silk bags. At that time, some customers who had not made tea before received the silk bags, because they were not clear about the procedures of making tea, they often put the silk bags into the boiling water with a thud. But gradually, people found it convenient to pack tea in this way, and gradually formed the habit of using small bags to pack tea.
The original tea bags were made of silk and cost a lot. Later, the Boston businessman William Hermanson invented the heat-resistant paper fiber tea bag, which was more like a modern tea bag in material. At the beginning, these American tea bags were all single-bag shaped. Due to their simple form and simple packaging mechanism, the tea bags were put into water and the tea leaves would be concentrated in the tea bags. The brewing speed was slow. Later, someone put the tea into a double bag folded into a W shape in the middle of the tea bag, and found that it can speed up the tea brewing speed in hot water. In 1949, Germany's Teepack company produced the world's first automatic double-bag tea bag packaging machine with such a concept. The original tea bags were simple cubes with a single bag shape. When the tea bags were put into water, the tea leaves would be concentrated in the tea bags, and the brewing speed was slow. However, due to the simple form, the use of packaging machinery is relatively simple, so it is still used by most businesses.
