We are into Re-using & Composting
Non-GMO, Compostable Tea Bags
Our tea bags are compostable! The filter material is made from 100% non-GMO Sugar Cane plants.
They not only look and function beautifully, they also nourish the soil when their use as a tea bag is complete.
Refillable Jars
Since the early days, we’ve sold glass mason jars of iced tea at the farmers markets. These jars can be brought back to our shops and market booths for discounted refill prices – cheaper than buying a plastic cup!
We do this to encourage sustainable practices and reduce plastic waste. Now, we've taken it a step further: when you purchase a new mason jar from us, we include a reusable metal straw as well!
Composting it All
Thankfully, spent tea leaves and coffee grounds make fantastic compost. We compost all this waste from our stores, as well as the leftovers from our production process.
Here's a fun bit of P&L History: When we first started using branded cups, we wanted to keep with our tradition of composting, so we bought compostable plastic cups. Unfortunately, they kept melting at the summer farmers markets we attended, and it was confusing for folks to not be able to recycle the cups, so we switched to recyclable cups.
