True Tea FAQ Hilfreich Fragen Antworten

Konnten wir dir helfen?

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!

Can I return items?2022-02-23T13:07:11+01:00

Yes, you can. We offer you free exchange/return 14 days after receiving the goods. Just contact us by mail.

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

Sorry, this is not possible at the moment!

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.

Is sustainable packaging more expensive?2023-05-07T00:17:52+02:00

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).

What are the bags made of?2022-04-26T13:08:34+02:00

The bags are made of kraft paper, cellulose film, starch film and starch zipper. 100% Plastic Free & 100% Pollutant Free.

What makes the cans so sustainable?2022-04-26T13:07:37+02:00

The cans are made of 100% paper and do not contain any plastic. Thus, they are easily recyclable. The core of the sleeve is made of 100% recycled paper. This again significantly reduces the ecological footprint.

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.

How do I prepare the tea optimally?2022-06-27T21:25:33+02:00

It all depends on the variety. Therefore, you can find the info you need on the product page and the products themselves.

However, here are some basic tips:

The water should always be fresh. Optimally, the water has been filtered – but of course this is not a must. For temperatures, you can use the following table as a guide:

TypeWater temperature
Black tea100°
Green tea and white tea70°
Herbal, fruit and rooibos tea100°
Oolong85°C-95°C

Herbal, fruit and rooibos teas should steep for about 8 minutes, while for green and white teas and oolong, the brewing time may be reduced to about 2-5 minutes.

Tip: To influence the taste ideally for you, you can turn two screws. This is, on the one hand, the amount of tea you use for the infusion and, on the other hand, the infusion time. The more tea and the longer it brews, the more intense the flavor. However, you cannot extend the infusion time indefinitely, as green and black teas in particular will otherwise become bitter. Just take our preparation instructions for the individual items as a starting point to meet your taste better and better, bit by bit with small changes. Good luck!

How can I dispose of the cans?2022-04-26T13:07:01+02:00

Please dispose of the cans in the paper trash. There, the paper fibers can be recycled and you give new life to the raw material.
