Annie’s Loose Herbal Teas (from Scotland)
Annie’s Teas are sold in zero waste tins, prepared from beautiful Scotland, in rural Argyllshire. They are packed with locally-sourced fresh herbs and dried to preserve the aroma and flavour. Any bags are compostable. They make a wonderful alternative to plain tea or coffee.
Avoid hibiscus tea for pregnancy (check other tins for contraindications).
NHS says that it’s best to avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing (or no more than 2 cups of weak tea daily – or 1 cup of mild coffee or cola). Also avoid caffeine for certain medical conditions.
Use a sink drainer to catch tea leaves, then bin (caffeine may affect compost creatures). Same with coffee grounds.
