Single portion tea bags

    We are putting together some treat bags for elderly neighbours in the estate. We are talking 50ish people, so can't afford to buy a full pack of tea bags for each (and they might go to waste).
    Does anybody know if there is a brand with individually wrapped tea bags available in any of the main stream supermarkets? Don't have access to cash & carry.

    Could you buy large boxes from a cash and carry or discount store and divide them out into ziplock bags?

    We could, but people are a bit iffy about hygiene matters at the moment. An elderly neighbour still disinfects all her groceries. She would bin the tea bags. That's why I'm looking for the individually wrapped ones.

    The majority of the individually wrapped ones you'll get outside of wholesalers are specialist flavours that might not be appreciated - I think both Twinings and Pukka do this for boxes under ~20 bags, but not for what is generally considered "normal tea".

    There is a slight chance you'll find some posh single origin Assam packaged like that which is as close as you'll get to "normal tea".

    In supermarkets, I've only ever seen this with herbal teas but I imagine you are looking for regular black tea or breakfast tea style
    e.g. Twinings, Java Republic herbal teas.

    Does it have to be tea bags? Would coffee sachets work? Dealz might have cheaper options than below.

    Starbucks VIA coffee sachets are lovely but think it's something like €6 for 12.

    A Cash & Carry might have something like this:
