Hampstead Organic Tea (truly plastic-free!)
Hampstead Teas always come out top, when indie experts look at which teas have the best eco credentials. Many companies these days use ‘biodegradable bags’ that are basically a form of plastic. So when you pour hot water over them, the plastic goes into you!
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.
This brand is one of the few on the market, that truly is plastic-free. Plus all their teas are organic. And delicious. And varied, so there is something for everyone. The range includes:
- English breakfast
- Darjeeling
- Earl Grey
- Oolong
- Lemon ginger
- Matcha
- Peppermint Spearmint
- Lavender valerian (sleep!)
- Chamomile
- Indian Chai
- Turmeric Cinnamon
