I've been tearing them open and throwing out the bag, but I'd like to know if I need to do that.

Rose tea bags are made from what they call is PLA, it’s a material which is ver similar to plastic and wil take upwards of 80yrs to breakdown in your compost. They are biodegradable which is different to compostable.
We will now buy our tea loose.
