What's the benefit of loose tea?

We're passionate about tea that is healthy, organic and produces zero waste. Our loose tea is all of these things.

Here's why:

A healthy alternative

With organic loose tea, all you are brewing are the delicious herbal ingredients rather than any nasties – and especially those nasties that sometimes come with teabags.

Many teabags are made with plastic-based glues, toxic paper tags or chemical dyes. And those are the last things you want to brew with your cup of tea.

Just as an aside, all Charity Tea™ teabags are sealed by heat making them plastic-free, staple-free and tag-free.

Zero waste

Opting for loose tea saves teabags from entering landfill. As with any quality tea infusers, the scissor style tea infuser is washable and reusable.

Although tea bags are compostable, many of them include toxic paper tags and staples that shouldn't really end up in your compost bin. Teabag paper tags are often printed with toxic ink, which is the last thing you want going into your veggie patch.

Choose your tea strength

With a teabag, the strength of tea has been chosen for you. With loose tea, you can choose exactly how strong – or weak – your cuppa will be.

More servings than teabags

Generally speaking, when you buy loose tea you get to enjoy more servings of tea than you would do if you opted for teabags. It often makes loose tea a more affordable option.
