our packaging
We care deeply about how our tea reaches you. We do not use any plastic in our packaging, but we must do more than this as a responsible business.
To get the most out of our tea it needs to be stored in the best condition possible - away from light, air, moisture, odours, and safe from being crushed. To ensure this we currently use tea tins (made from food safe aluminium which is widely recyclable).
The idea is that you keep your tin and order a refill pack when you have finished. Or, if you already have a suitable container you can order a refill pack straight away.
We like to think big, and our goal is to have fully home compostable packaging in the future. In the meantime, please see a complete list of packaging we use below:
