    Welcome to JLSE. As a rule, all questioners are expected to provide some translation attempt or research effort. Otherwise your question may [get closed as "mere translation request"](https://japanese.meta.stackexchange.com/a/799/5010) by someone who doesn't want to learn Japanese. Please keep this in mind next time. – naruto Aug 22 '22 at 02:05
  • Welcome @A. Mashreghi! Ideally in a question here, you'd provide some of your guesses as to the correct answer to get us started. However, I acknowledge this is a particularly hard construction for learners to translate initially. – jogloran Aug 22 '22 at 04:38

You can say いろいろな種類(のティーバッグ)が2個ずつあります.

いろいろな種類 can work as a noun meaning "things of various kinds".

This 2個ずつ is an adverb, and ずつ is a useful suffix that means "for every" or "each". In case you don't know ずつ, here's a good starter: JLPT N3 Grammar ずつ (zutsu)
