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!
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.
People in England drink more tea than anywhere bar Ireland and Turkey. Choose plastic-free tea bags (to avoid drinking microplastics) and treat yourself to an energy-saving kettle to save on bills.
NHS recommends no more than 2 cups weak tea daily for pregnancy (or none) and avoid some herb teas (like hibiscus/sage) for pregnancy/medication.
Just bin tea leaves (the caffeine could harm compost bin creatures). If tea bags have string, bin them too (they could harm birds and wildlife).
