A mug of Moroccan Tea using non plastic tea bags

What is sustainable tea?

As farmers, we work with the land every day with an understanding of how to make it thrive while reducing the impact we have on the environment.

The same passion flows into every cup of Tidy Tea, ensuring each blend is sustainably sourced and sealed into recyclable packaging. Keep reading to discover our sustainable tea company.

What is sustainable tea?

Sustainable tea has to be environmentally friendly and ethical at every level of production. This includes:

  • Sourcing responsibly grown tea, considering soil health, farming methods and the overall carbon footprint of production
  • Ensuring farmers are treated fairly and given a fair price for their produce
  • Aiming for zero waste with recyclable packaging 

This is true for all our Tidy Tea blends. 

Biodegradable, non-plastic tea bags - just recycle at home 

Our pyramids are 100% plastic and GMO-free, so you get nothing but the good stuff in your mug - full of flavour with no microplastics entering your drink. For that reason, non-plastic tea bags can be better for you than regular pyramids, while also being more sustainable.

Our biodegradable tea bags are fully compostable. As they are made from plant-based materials, they are safe and easy to recycle at home; simply dispose of them in your food waste or compost bin once you’ve brewed your perfect cup. 

Plastic-free coffee bags 

When we launched our luxury coffee bags, we knew we had to offer the same level of sustainability as our tea blends. That’s why each serving of coffee is packaged into a plastic-free bag and stored within a recyclable cardboard box - learn more about our packaging below!

Our packaging is fully recyclable too! 

We made it our mission to ensure our packaging looks great without compromising on sustainability. 

Underneath the powdery pastel colours and fun illustrations inspired by our designs, there’s packaging that’s 100% recyclable.

Every box is made from cardboard, so it can be put straight into your household recycling, while the packet that holds the tea pyramids is made from cornstarch and will decompose within your home compost bin.
