Best Answer
I took tea with me to mexico in 2010 and in 2015. My bag was selected and searched. The Officer found tea bags and asked whether this was tea (I use Twinings large square tea bags with not tag and I did not have original packaging). It was fine.

Tea bags are allowed to be brought into the US, but please declare them. If a customs officer decides to inspect your luggage, they might give you a lot of grief for failure to declare even though it's legal. I frequently bring commercial samples (not dutiable) into the States.Can you take tea bags abroad?
