If coffee grounds are good for the garden...are tea bags too?

1. Yes, both are good for the garden eom

2. What if it's like "Cinnamon Stick" or "Lemon Lift"?

Does a flavored tea do any damage?

3. I doubt that either one would hurt

Neither would have enough to harm anything. Both herb and regular black tea are fine in the garden. My compost has mainly coffee grounds and tea bags in it during the winter. Summer it has lots more shells and corn husks, etc. But the tea and coffee can go straight into your beds, just kinda work them in a bit, maybe tuck the bags under some mulch.

4. I add coffee grounds to get nitrogen and maybe some potassium

They are used for fertilizer, not just to acidify the soil.
Coffee grounds are two percent nitrogen.
I never heard of tea bags being used for fertilizer.
