When to Buy Tea Bags Over Loose Leaf Tea

A spirited debate is percolating across the globe. People are debating the merits of Tea Bags versus Loose Leaf Tea. Fans of tradition prefer to buy loose leaf tea instead of tea bags. They champion its beautiful appearance, rich flavour, and superiority.

Still, it wouldn’t be fair to overlook the benefits of a simple tea bag. Some people argue there’s no clear proof that tea bags are lower in quality—especially with newer biodegradable options. Tea bags are incredibly convenient, especially when you’re in a rush – they’re quick, easy, and always ready to give you a comforting cup with no fuss.

Why Plastic-Free Tea Bags?

In the zeitgeist of environmental consciousness, we pledge to a healthier planet by shifting to plastic-free tea bags. Since the humble beginnings, we’ve recognised that advancements in materials can contribute to eco-friendly practices.

Thus, our plastic-free selections are crafted from wood pulp and vegetable starch. These materials are considered a “bio-plastic.” Although they share the name with conventional plastics, their environmental impact is substantially lighter.

Not only are these tea bags biodegradable, but they are also composter-friendly. When using our products, customers can return the nutrients to the Earth by simply adding the used them to their garden compost. Our commitment to sustainability is further reinforced through certifications. They meet the EN-13432 standard for compatibility.

Moreover, they carry ISO 9001/2015, Kosher, and Halal certifications. These ensure that our high-quality tea can be enjoyed by a wide range of patrons. They also champion environmental stewardship.
