Abstract: The teabag holder is located in a lid for a tea brewing container. The string of the teabag passes through a hole in the soft, flexible material of the lid and holds it at any desired level so that it extends into the liquid in the container or is held above the liquid, or at any other desired position. The underside of the lid serves as a receptacle for liquid drained from a teabag placed therein. The sides of the lid can be squeezed together to squeeze the liquid from the teabag without touching the bag with the fingers.
