Delivering a premium loose-leaf tea experience in busy cafés and hotels requires efficiency without compromising on quality. These unbleached, natural paper T-Filters provide food service operators with the clean, full-bodied flavour profile of a loose-leaf brew, combined with the fast-paced convenience of a standard tea bag. They give loose tea leaves ample space to fully expand during infusion without leaving leaf sediment at the bottom of the cup.
The filter paper relies on a precise blend of sustainable Austrian timber, mixing long-fibre softwoods like Norway Spruce for structural wet-strength with short-fibre hardwoods like European Beech to control water flow. This careful balance prevents the filter from bursting under boiling water while ensuring water circulates through the leaf at the ideal extraction rate. Furthermore, using natural unbleached paper ensures zero chlorine leaching into hot water, keeping delicate herbal and tea infusions completely free from paper taste.
Designed specifically for a two-cup teapot or a large mug, the Size 2 T-Filter features a wide expanding gusset and a clever cutaway flap. This eliminates the need for a separate holder—simply fold the flap over the pot rim. This system streamlines service by eliminating the need to scrub wire mesh infusers or clear leaf-clogged dishwasher drains between orders. After service, just drop the used filter and its contents straight into the organic waste bin.

    Started using these along with the smaller size and absolutely love them! They remove all the hassle with spillages into the dishwasher (which has cost us dearly before). Easy to pre-fill, and staff love them. Won't be going back to my teapots!

  Technical Paper Engineering

  • Wet Tensile Matrix Strength: Formulated using sustainable Austrian Alpine Softwood Kraft (Norway Spruce and Silver Fir). This provides immense structural wet-strength, rigorously tested under ISO 3781 and TAPPI T 456, to ensure the filter never bursts under boiling water.[1]
  • Controlled Porosity & Extraction: Incorporates European Hardwood (Beech and Birch) to precisely regulate water flow and porosity. Tested under ISO 5636 and TAPPI T 460, this balance ensures an ideal infusion rate while keeping all leaf sediment securely inside the bag.[1]
  • [1] Technical Reference: Fibre formulation for wet tensile matrix strength (ISO 3781 / TAPPI T 456) and controlled porosity (ISO 5636 / TAPPI T 460).

  T-Filters Size 2 FAQs

What is the difference between Size 2 and other T-Filter sizes?

The Size 2 filter features an 82mm width and a 157mm total length, making it the ideal volume for brewing into a standard two-cup teapot or a large individual mug. If you are serving standard single cups, Size 1 is more appropriate, while Sizes 3 and 4 are designed for larger catering teapots or iced tea pitchers.

Will the paper material alter the taste of delicate green or white teas?

Not at all. Jenier T-Filters are crafted exclusively from natural, unbleached Austrian timber fibres. Because they undergo a completely chlorine-free manufacturing process, there is zero chemical leaching or residual paper taste, allowing the pure, clean flavour of delicate teas to extract perfectly.

Are the used filters and tea leaves fully compostable?

Yes. After service, the entire T-Filter—including the steeped loose tea leaves inside—can be dropped straight into your commercial organic waste bin for hassle-free composting.
