How can I be absolutely sure that my tea bags do not have plastic in them?
That's so gross. I like buying a lot of tea from Asia and small companies. I'm not that big of a fan of loose leaf just because it's less convenient to brew.

I've bought like 5, and converted a couple dozen people from other nasty plastic or perforated-metal filters. Super highly recommended.
As long as your climate is correct and you have a temperate garden, is not a difficult plant to grow or harvest.
Disclaimer: I am utterly useless with plants and green fingers and all that.
I have in my garden Morocan Mint (Mentha spicata) and Lemongrass(Cymbopogon citratus). They are meant for much warmer climates but provided you have a wind barrier and above freezing temperatures these plants grow like weeds.
You can also grow them indoors. They are generally forgiving and make for great decaffeinated fresh tea.
You could enjoy also the infusion made from skins of wild rose hips. Really easy to found in the Northern hemisphere. Discard the seeds or cook the fruit entire and filter the liquid apart. Will obtain a sweet and clear infusion rich in vitamin C in a nice red tone. Good for the cold days of winter.
And there is also the Australian bush tea made from Leptospermum leaves that a lot of people culture yet in their gardens for the long lasting flowering season. I remember it dark and bitter.
None of that is a good reason not to grow a few plants and try it, if you live somewhere warm enough.
Tea bags have nothing to do with tea. It's that simple.
Having said that, the plastic tea bags usually have better "tea" in them.
Seems like a stretch to make this argument...
