There’s a small item often tossed aside without thought that can still be useful: a used tea bag. Once cooled, it becomes a simple tool for everyday reuse rather than waste.
Cooled black or green tea bags can help soothe minor skin irritation or tired eyes, offering a brief moment of relief after a long day. In the kitchen, used tea bags can help cut grease in dishwater, and once dried, they can be composted or added to soil to support plant health.
Reusing tea bags isn’t about big savings or miracle fixes. It’s about recognizing quiet value in what’s already at hand—and making small, thoughtful choices that gently reduce waste while adding ease to daily life.
