The name should be program. Because we want to provide you with truly good and honest sustainable products – without compromise.
We are so serious about this promise that we have given ourselves the appropriate name. We are True Tea!
The bags are made of kraft paper, cellulose film, starch film and starch zipper. 100% Plastic Free & 100% Pollutant Free.
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!
We exclusively use the climate-neutral shipping service of DHL for shipping.
Optimally: in your own compost! Within 180 days, the bags decompose completely.
If you don’t have compost, you can also dispose of them in the trash. Here you can see what happens to your bag:
- In the organic waste garbage can, the bag is composted if it is correctly identified by the disposal company. If not, it is burned or goes to a landfill.
- In the recycling garbage can, the bag is sorted out and incinerated.
- The bag is also incinerated in the residual waste.
- In nature, the bag is composted and a source of food for organisms. Important: Please do not dispose of bags in the environment!

And how! Compared to normal paper made from virgin fibers, grass paper saves 99% water and 95% CO₂ in production. Grass paper is grown relatively regionally (compared to wood). This saves transport distances.
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:
Type | Water temperature |
---|---|
Black tea | 100° |
Green tea and white tea | 70° |
Herbal, fruit and rooibos tea | 100° |
Oolong | 85°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!
