No, that complicates things way too much. Simplicity in design is beauty. A real engineer would recognize the tag on the string not only as a point a confusion, but also a superfluous feature. Simply remove it. The end user will have to use a spoon supplied by themselves to remove the teabag, but thats their problem. At least there is actually tea in the cup at that point.

Loose leaf tea is peak design.

I disagree. The teabag is a welcome replacement to having to have yet another unitasker in the kitchen.
