Wir sind für dich da – schreibe uns einfach, sollte deine Frage noch nicht geklärt sein.

Where does the tea come from?2021-12-26T01:12:57+01:00

The components of the blends as well as the teas themselves come from different countries. Regular on-site visits of our pre-supplier as well as the long-standing cooperation with plantations allow highest quality standards and ensure highest quality as well as environmentally and socially compatible cultivation. Of course, quality is also regularly checked in laboratory tests and by on-site audits. After all, trust is good, but control is better!

How long does the delivery take?2022-02-23T12:59:08+01:00

We usually ship your goods within 48 hours, provided that all items are available.

If this is not the case, we will contact you to clarify the further procedure.

How can I return items?2022-02-23T13:01:39+01:00

If you want to return items, just send us an email and we will take care of it right away.

What is environmentally friendly about packaging?2021-12-25T02:28:16+01:00

Good question! We firmly believe in the credo: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Therefore, we currently offer two packages:

Cardboard cans

The chic tins are handmade and are made of cardboard. The core of the sleeve is made of recycled paper. After use, you can refill them or simply dispose of them in the paper trash. The cans are of course food safe and plastic free.

The cans are made of only one material (paper). Thus, recycling is particularly easy. The use of already recycled paper in the cans also reduces the environmental footprint. A round thing, we think.

Reclosable bags

We rely on garden compostable and 100% plastic-free bags. And they are honestly good! These high quality bags are made in the EU and become compost after 180 days. This has also been confirmed by the TÜV. And the bags are also practical to reseal. The bags are made of cellulose, paper and starch.

We fill our shipping boxes only with paper material or floppies made of corn starch. Both can be recycled and are 100% plastic free.

And what about our tea accessories? Well, here, unfortunately, possibly (recyclable) plastic is used in the packaging, so that these arrive safely at your home. Unfortunately, this cannot be done any other way at present. As part of our transparency, we show you exactly how each item is packaged on the product pages.

 

We pay attention to sustainability in all steps and especially the elimination of plastic wherever possible. Not everywhere we have reached where we would like to go. But be sure: we will continue to do our best to further improve the packaging materials.

Is True Tea safe?2022-01-28T22:36:21+01:00

Yes. The connection between you and our website is encrypted end-to-end. You can check this at any time by looking at the lock icon in your browser bar.

We do not share data without your consent. We earn our money by selling you great products around tea – not with your data. Ordering from us is possible with minimal data usage and without an account.

I do not have a thermometer. How do I know when the infusion temperature has been reached?2022-04-26T13:04:45+02:00

We do recommend that you use a kettle with a thermostat or a tea water thermometer – but this is not a mandatory requirement. You can also use two rules of thumb to guide you:

First method: Wait and see

To do this, boil 1L of water in the kettle and wait for the times indicated below with the lid closed:

80° for oolongs & white teas – approx. 20 minutes

70° for green teas – about 25 minutes

Second method: recasting

Each time you transfer the water to another vessel, the water loses about 10 degrees in temperature.

80° for oolongs & white teas – 2 times repouring

70° for green teas – 3-4 times repouring

Can I also pick up the order?2022-04-26T13:05:56+02:00

Sorry, this is not possible at the moment!

Do you also have organic teas?2022-04-26T13:06:19+02:00

Currently, we are not allowed to offer organic goods due to a lack of organic certification. Many of our items are organic and we are aiming for organic certification in the future to be able to advertise them as such.

What is the shipping cost?2022-01-28T22:23:11+01:00

From 29,90€ we take over the shipping costs for you. For a purchase value below 29,90€ we charge a shipping fee of 4,99€.

The flat shipping rate helps cover costs for transportation and packaging. Our sustainable packaging is unfortunately relatively expensive, yet we also want to offer you the flexibility of low order quantities. We think we have found a good compromise here.

Do I need a True Tea account to place an order?2023-05-21T23:14:38+02:00

No, you can order without an account. However, an account has many advantages. You can manage all your orders through our website and collect 2 TT Points per 1 € of sales with every purchase. You can then redeem them for discounts.
