Make sure you use ALL of the tea. Then you will be a real tea totaler.

I've never had the color leaching problem, and I've used water-based
adhesives to glue them in place. Almost all the tea coloring will leach out
when you make the tea. I've always used tea leaves that were already used
for making tea, even though I don't drink any form of tea myself anymore.

Another use for spent tea leaves is representing bark on trees, especially
pine trees made with balsa trunks. I have an associate whose On30 layout has
several of them and the effect is quite convincing. As for using tea leaves
for ground cover, doesn't the tea color wick out into the water-based
adhesive (matte medium or diluted white glue) and stain the surrounding
ground cover?
