What it is. A disposable filter bag made from white food-safe filter paper that adds no taste, with a cotton drawstring sewn along the top. You fill it, pull the string, and the bag closes around the herb like a large tea bag. It is the same bag we use behind the bar for pots of tea and single-serve kava.

How to use it. Scoop in the herb, cinch the string, drop it in the mug or the pitcher. For a single cup use about a tablespoon of loose leaf tea. For kava, fill one with root powder and knead it in warm water the way you would with a strainer bag, then lift it out. For cold brew, one bag in a quart jar overnight in the fridge. When you are done the whole thing goes in the compost or the trash, no strainer to clean.

For hot tea and refrigerated cold brew instructions, see our guide to using drawstring tea filter bags.

Goes with. For full kava batches a reusable fine nylon strainer bag takes the kneading better, and an unbleached #4 cone filter polishes out the silt after. Keep the loose herb itself in resealable kraft bags or 2 oz glass jars. All of it is in Accessories and DIY Supplies.

Common questions

• Are these open-top or sealed? Open top with a drawstring. You fill them yourself and pull them closed.
• Will fine powder leak through? Very fine extract powder can seep a little, as with any tea bag. Cut and sifted leaf, flower and root stay put.
