Tea leaves need room to expand for full-bodied flavor. This is the reason tea balls are not ideal for brewing loose leaf tea. Standard tea bag material is often low-flow, preventing the brew from diffusing beyond the inside of the bag. (Ever notice the dunking, swirling, and squeezing required to brew traditional bags?) Paper tea bags collapse onto the leaves, preventing their natural unfurling. Sometimes you can even taste the paper material in your brew, adding insult to injury.
Behind it all is a patented open-weave biodegradable sachet that maximizes the flow of water, so you won't compromise your Earth-loving ways or your full-bodied brew. Our sachet tea bags are made using a certified non–GMO sugar cane-based material called NeoSoilon® and do not contain any plastics. This sachet material is a plant-based alternative, obtained from sugar cane fibers, which is 100% biodegradable, compostable, and completely free from petroleum-based plastic. It turns out, you
can have your cake and eat it too - only healthier!
The tea bags will break down most efficiently (3-5 days) utilizing a municipal composting facility. They can also effectively break down in home composting, in the ideal conditions of being well-maintained and located in a sunny area. With simple, plain soil, the tea bags will take about three years to break down, far faster than regular paper tea bags will.
Bottom line - whole leaf teas provide you with more flavor, aroma, antioxidants, and pleasure than the tiny leaf bits and stale tea dust in most mass-produced tea bags, and is earth-friendly. Typical tea bags are produced on an industrial scale and may sit in a warehouse or on a shelf for a long time before you ever get them. These low-grade leaves are usually picked, processed, and packaged by machines overseas. In contrast, our premium teas are carefully hand-selected and crafted by tea masters. We then micro-blend and pack them in the USA in small batches - into our air-tight tea tins, resealable bulk pouches, and premium tea sachets - assuring that you get fresh handcrafted tea from this year's crop.
