  1. Used green tea (still wet, but obviously not still super hot) are great for the skin as its both cooling and naturally nourishing! Let the wet tea sit under your eyes to minimize the puffiness, sure, but you can apply green tea "compress" to any part of your skin as its rather soothing. Just make sure not to use the loose wet tea around your eyes unless you're super careful. It's not fun to pull a speck of green tea out of your eye. :)

    White tea is even better for your eye puffiness! Gotta love antioxidants.

    It's also good for your houseplants, I've heard, to empty the teabags onto the soil. I'm not sure, however if its beneficial as fertilizer or as bug repellant though.


  2. I dry them, an adopt an old trick from Britain, in WW2. Get 3 dry ones, and use in place of 1 fresh one (slightly stronger, but allow to draw for less time, once used to it). Then I remove the paper tags, (bin these) and use the bags as mulch:- the soil bacteria will break them down, eventually.

  3. Here at our house, we compost all organic matter, even banana peels, orange peels and coffee grounds.  Makes great compost and keeps the garden happy and blooming at its fullest.  Sometimes we even get great volunteers like squashes growing out of the compost pile!

  5. Used green tea bags(when cooled)are excellent for your eyes.Just lay back and apply a tea bag to each eye for 15 minutes.You can then compost them in your compost bin.You should just tear them apart before you compost,makes your compost nice and loamy

  6. You can use them for that. If you have roses you can put them around your roses to give them some nutrients. You can just put them in the trash.

  7. if you have a garden start a compose
