Q: Can you tell me more about your environmental sustainability?
We have a number of ways here at Tease in which we’re actively working to combat environmental issues and reduce our carbon footprint.
In terms of sourcing, we source our tea exclusively from members of the Ethical Tea Partnership. The ETD is an organization that works directly with tea farmers across both Africa and Asia to develop and implement programs that create socially and environmentally sustainable tea through each step of the process.
In addition to how we source our tea, our packaging is 100% biodegradable, inside and out! From our cardboard tubes to our plant-based refill packs, and our compostable pyramid bags. Whenever possible, we work with local businesses to support our co-packing, blending, and manufacturing needs.
