The Accidental Invention of Teabags

The accidental invention of teabags can be traced back to the early 20th century. It all started when New York tea merchant Thomas Sullivan began sending samples of his loose leaf tea to customers in small silk bags. However, many of these customers mistakenly assumed that the bags were meant to be brewed along with the tea leaves, just like modern teabags.

Realizing the potential for this convenient brewing method, Sullivan began packaging his tea in small, perforated paper bags, and the rest is history. Today, teabags are a staple in households all over the world, providing a quick and easy way to brew a cup of tea.
