I've certainly used real tea bags - we got them from the Salada tea people - they're made of a paper made of abaca fiber, a very long-staple fiber. I still see many labs using that old standard, lens paper.
About ten years ago I saw a lot of tissue bags, maybe made of nylon, available from whatever Shandon is called this week. I think embedders like them. You want the small size. A major disadvantage is that they're quite expensive.
