As you have probably noticed, sustainability is important to us. We think environmental protection should not be an extra, but standard. That is why we offer only environmentally friendly and plastic-free packaging. At no extra charge and without you having to do anything.
Shipping is also plastic free, we use paper/cardboard packaging material and corn starch packaging chips. In addition, the shipment comes to you climate neutral.
Our tea is available in either cans or bags. The cans are made of recyclable tinplate, and the bags are made of paper/cellulose and starch. The bags are easily garden compostable and of course plastic-free.
Last but not least, our website servers are 100% powered by green electricity. If you want to learn more about what we’re doing for the environment, check it out here.
Our refill bags always hold at least twice the filling quantity of a Tin. So you can conveniently refill them. The bags are garden compostable and plastic-free. On the compost they become food for microorganisms. A clean sweep, from start to finish, that is.
Yes, unfortunately that is the case. To put a concrete figure on it, our sustainable, compostable and plastic-free bags cost about ten times as much to purchase as the plastic bag most competitors use. The same applies, of course, to the other packaging material: from cartons, filling material to banderoles and labels.
Our vision is to package tea sustainably for all – only together can we make a difference. This is not achieved with eco-surcharges to optimize profit margins. Therefore, we try to absorb these high costs as much as possible or compensate them in other places (for example, the low-cost shipping via Deutsche Post).
