Huh! Learn something new every day.
@dougmerritt @maxpool Many brands at this point use tea bags that are mostly or entirely synthetic. The ones that are approximately tetrahedrons come to mind. This leads to better infusion but at the cost of drinking a bunch of microplastics.

Another obvious tetrahedron cost is that they are doing the opposite of minimizing package volume, and it's a short step from that to concluding that the cost per serving must inherently be sharply higher.
