Honestly good &
honestly sustainable.
When you buy tea from True Tea, you are choosing not only excellent quality, but also environmental protection. Sustainability must not be a luxury. For us, sustainability is not an additional option, but always standard.
Without any marketing blah-blah and eyewash, we show you here what True Tea does for the environment.
We live in a time that is characterized by bad news. Climate targets are being missed, species are becoming extinct, and environmental disasters are on the rise. Every decision we make has an impact on the environment, however small it may seem to us.

5 reasons against Plastic
We put our focus on offering our teas plastic-free. That’s important to us – here you can find out why.
We do without plastic wherever possible. We succeed very well in this with our packaging. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in our supply chains. We are constantly working to become even better.
Our packaging
TINS
Our tea caddies are made of tinplate. Tinplate is a very recyclable material – recyclability in Germany is a staggering 95%. Of course, our tins are food safe and protect the aroma of your teas optimally.
REFILL BAGS
Our bags have a zipper closure. So you can always reseal them and store the tea even without a tin. They are made of cellulose, starch and kraft paper and decompose into humus in garden compost within about 120 days. Of course, the bags are 100% plastic and pollutant free.
Logistics & co.
Cartons from recycled material
We use cardboard boxes made of recycled material and without plastic content. You can just dispose of them in the paper trash.
Climate neutral delivery
The delivery is climate neutral thanks to DHL GoGreen or the German Post. Any CO₂ emissions are offset by climate protection projects.
What does it mean?55

That’s how much CO₂ the packaging in our refill pouches saves compared to plastic packaging.
Not bad, right?
Active against climate change
We have taken a variety of measures to reduce ourcarbon footprint. Nevertheless, residual emissions occur along our value chain. To further reduce our impact on the environment, we plant ecologically sound trees in Germany together with our partner Planted. Reforestation, if properly addressed, is an effective way to capture climate-damaging gases. Learn more about our commitment
1% of our annual profit goes to NABU
At the end of our fiscal year, we donate 1% of our profits from that year to NABU. Our contribution is then used for conservation projects. So your purchase from True Tea does many good things.
