I've never seen a teabag emerge from my compost either. Perhaps Canadian tea bags are finer? 

Only things I sometimes see in my compost are chunks of grapefruit peel I forgot to chop up first and egg shells if I didn't crush them before adding.

Experiment with different tea bags - I used to find loads of uncomposted bags but I haven't had any trouble at all with Sainsburys red label...

I used to get the bags comming out too.
I just picked up from the soil and binned them, i wouldn't stop useing them though as you get really good crumbly compost with them.

My bags were either PG or Tetleys dependant on price

Which? reckoned that the "vast majority" of tea bags have polypropylene in them

I'll tell you of one brand of teabags that don't compost - Teapigs. The bags seem to be nylon like.

Remember that you can also add natural fibres like pure cotton (dishclothes, knickers, tee shirts, worn out denims) to your compost heap and also pure woollen garments.

You can add your old jeans?

I wonder what happened to my old 501s.  I never found out, now I have a better idea
