Pyramid vs Envelope Teabags: What’s the Difference?

Two teabag styles, one very important job: making your brew brilliant. ☕

Ever wondered why some teabags look like little pyramids while others are nice and flat? At Charbrew, we have both, and each style has its own perks. So, let’s spill the tea on what makes them different!

Pyramid Teabags: Room to Brew

Pyramid teabags have a clever 3D shape that gives the tea leaves, herbs and botanicals more room to move around as they infuse.

They’re particularly suited to blends containing larger tea leaves or fruity, herbal ingredients. Plus, their mesh design lets you see what’s brewing inside, making them a lovely choice for speciality teas. Ours are also bioderadable.

Think of them as the roomier option. After all, nobody likes feeling boxed in! 

Envelope-Style Teabags: A Classic for a Reason

Flat, familiar and wonderfully convenient, envelope-style teabags are a staple in the world of tea.

Their compact design works brilliantly for everyday favourites and blends made with finer-cut tea leaves. They’re easy to pack, simple to brew and perfect for those moments when you just want to pop the kettle on and put your feet up.

Sometimes, you just can’t beat a classic.

So, Which Teabag Is Better?

Here’s the thing: neither style is automatically better than the other. It all comes down to the tea inside!

Pyramid teabags offer more space for larger ingredients to expand, while envelope-style teabags are a tried-and-tested choice for everyday brewing. Both can make a delicious cup of tea when filled with great-quality ingredients and brewed just right.

At Charbrew, we believe there’s a perfect brew for every mood. Whether you prefer a pyramid or a classic envelope, there’s only one thing left to do…

Put the kettle on and let the good times steep!
