So where did the tea bag machine start? Let’s find out!
In this article, we will tell you more about the tea bag machine and the history. The first tea bag patents were Roberta Lawson
and Mary Molaren, Wisconsin, in the 1903. These tea bags were firstly made
through hand sewn fabrics. After that, it was commercialized, the aim was then to make sure that the costs of shipping would be reduced. The idea was, eventually, to insert tea leaves into a squared silk
bags which is tiny to be handed into the customers hands. Brewing the tea with
the bags were actually an incident, but the customers found out that they could
actually brew tea in this little bag when they received the product. They find
it easier to brew tea without removing the bag and there is where tea bags
truly started. Then a man called Adolf Rambold creates the first tea bag
machine in the 1929 for a German company called Teekanne. It was then followed
by William Hermanson in 1930 with the heat-sealed paper fibre tea bag. Nowadays, manufactures are using machines to
make tea bag packaging such as:
- Pyramid tea bags
- Rectangle tea bags
- Sustainable tea bags
- And many more!
All of these tea bags are made to preserve
the tea to be sold freshly and do its functions to keep the tea inside the bags
and make the tea brewed smoothly! Let’s dive deeper into everything about the tea bag machine.

are the pyramid and regular tea bag. So what differentiate the two?
Safe to say that the materials used in
pyramid tea bags are completely different than regular tea bags. This tea bag
packaging are made with nylon materials which allow the tea leaves to expand
and move around freely while the regular does the opposite. It keeps the tea
leaves in its compact structure which doesn’t let the leaves to grow. It
practically traps the tea leaves inside. Growing is actually a really important
ability as it gives the tea a better flavour and aroma. With the pyramid tea
bags, it is also most likely to stay strong instead of it will tear or leak
like the rectangular ones as the tea leaves inside can move around freely and
