Lyons tea bags are made from a mix of cellulose and polypropylene, a type of plastic. The company says their tea bags will eventually break down in commercial composting facilities, but they do not recommend composting them at home. Bates, H. E. (1946). The Tinkers of Elstow: the Story of the Royal Ordnance Factory run by J. Lyons and Company Limited for the Ministry of Supply for the World War of 1939–1945. Privately published, The pyramid tea bags are officially known as Freeflow pyramid tea bags. In 2004, Lyons switched to the pyramid tea bag. Pyramid tea bags act as small teapots and allow the tea leaves to move more freely, producing a better tasting tea. Pyramid tea bags allow 50% more room for the tea leaves to move. More room for the tea leaves results in a better infusion and a superior cup of tea. Made for: Lyons Tea, Unilever Ireland, 20 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Park, Dublin 24.
