I think fancy pyramid-shaped teabags are often nylon (ie plastic) and less often silk (eg I think teapigs might use silk). More old-school flat bags are generally some sort of papery stuff, although that could be bleached with something nasty.
If you worry about plastic and sundry chemicals in drinks you're better off just making loose tea. You get a better cup of tea and you know that tea is all that's in it. (other than anything that was already in the water to start with)
If Starbucks itself isn’t clearly explaining why its Teavana teabags are safer than other plastic teabags, then the consumer is better off assuming that they’re not.
Premium brands advertise what makes their products premium, so that they can charge more or increase sales. They don’t do it for free out of the goodness of their hearts.
Sure. All I'm saying is I don't know enough about the chemistry to know whether this type of biodegradable affects whether there is microplastic residue in the drink.
