I've been asked for teabags to do the Tea bag prac.

You remove the staple , empty the bag , form it into a tube and light the top .It sits there for a while and slowly lifts off the bench .

Now last time I got tea bags but they had no staples and even though they carefully cut the top and bottom off , several teachers told be they were useless and most wouldn't lift and this year have demanded ones with staples again .

Sooo , not being a big Tea drinker , I have no idea which brands have staples .
Anybody know which brand of teabags still use a staple ???

Just checked my cupboard, and Tetley extra strong, has staples, I purchased them on Wednesday this week.

Thankyou so much Labby
I'm off to the shops

Cup of tea coming up for me Bigmack?

We use Tetley, Yorkshire (can buy in Woolies) and Lipton. All will work but the Tetley works the best.
We do this for Year 7 Taster Day - students get one of each to see which works the best.
