Claim 9:
10. A method for manufacturing biodegradable whole leaf pillow tea bags, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a biodegradable infusion substrate having two opposing edges;
creating a sleeve from the biodegradable infusion substrate by sealing the two opposing edges of the substrate together;
sealing a bottom of the sleeve;
dispensing a first predetermined amount of tea into the bottom of the sleeve in an amount to create a single whole leaf pillow tea bag;
vertically feeding the sleeve into a heat-sealing machine including a cutting mechanism positioned within a sealing mechanism where the bottom seal and the first predetermined amount of tea are positioned below the heat-sealing machine;
creating a horizontal heat seals across the sleeve;
cutting across the center of the horizontal heat seal with the cutting mechanism to create pillow bags, wherein the cutting mechanism is positioned within the sealing mechanism in alignment with the center of the seal when the horizontal heat seal is created by the sealing mechanism and where the cutting mechanism is supported by an actuating mechanism and where the cutting mechanism is actuated by the actuating mechanism to cut through the center of the horizontal heat seal;
repeatedly dispensing subsequent predetermined amounts of tea into the bottom of the sleeve in an amount to create single whole leaf pillow tea bags;
vertically feeding the sleeve into the heat-sealing machine after each repeated dispensing of subsequent predetermined amounts of tea, creating a horizontal heat seal across the sleeve and cutting across the center of the horizontal heat seal with the cutting mechanism to create pillow bags.
