I don’t drink coffee but I dispose of tea leaves in the pots of my house plants. Seems a bit simpler, not gonna lie.

Wait, what? I need more information. You probably mean loose leaf but I guess you could just cut open a used bag? But surely that's like, one bag a month or something. I drink like 6 cups of tea a day, how long does it take before you can add more? (I had this problem with composting when I learned I could add like a small peel per week and I was like... I generate 10x that per day.)

I do loose leaf yeah but I don't see why you couldn't cut open teabags. And my tea consumption is a lot less than yours. But give it a try. If the pot fills up you'll just have to go to plan B. I don't pay that much attention to the decomposition rate but it's probably fairly slow.

Just a heads up: not all plants like this because the tannic acid can make the soil too acidic for them.
