Unveiled: The world’s biggest tea bag (Picture: Planet Organic Australia)

A tea bag thought to be the world’s biggest, weighing an enormous 151kg, has been unveiled in Queensland, Australia.

The Planet Organic food company showed off the giant creation this week in its bid to raise money for cancer awareness.

Standing 3m high and held in place by a forklift, the bag would make around 100,000 cups for thirsty tea lovers.

It won’t be dunked in hot water anytime soon, however, as bosses are yet to find a mug big enough to hold it.


Although the record is yet to be officially confirmed, marketing manager Brian Condon is confident of taking the title.

‘I came across the fact that there was the world’s largest tea bag and thought we could beat it,’ he told abc.net.



‘The tea bag itself is a pyramid tea bag that contains 151kg of organic green tea,” he said.

‘It would make about 100,000 cups of tea, but we don’t have a cup big enough to make one big cup.

‘We may look at making the biggest cup of tea next year.’

A company in Portsmouth currently holds the official title after unveiling their 120kg record breaker in 2011.
