Break free from tea bags this Earth Day!

April 21, 2020

Did you know that switching to loose leaf tea is one simple step we can all do towards helping to save our planet? This year celebrates the 50th anniversary of Earth Day with the theme of "climate action". As you likely have already discovered, loose leaf tea is much fresher than most tea from tea bags with a much, much wider range of options. Plus it is better for our planet!!

Why is loose leaf tea more environmentally friendly?

Fewer packaging materials and therefore less garbage / litter
Loose leaf tea can be easily composted
Many commercial tea bags are not fully biodegradable
Re-usable tea infusers eliminate waste
An increasing number of loose leaf teas are organic

Earth day is Wednesday, April 22, 2020. Unlike "Earth Hour" it runs for 24 hours.
