Loose tea — the environmental & economical choice
One of the many benefits of serving and selling loose tea is environmental.
Loose tea vs bagged tea
1 lb/500g of tea = 200 teabags
To make 200 teabags we need:
- 200 staples
- 200 pieces of string
- 200 paper, nylon or synthetic sheets
- 200 foil or paper over-wrap sheets
Compared to loose tea, this means:
- Higher shipping costs
- Higher fuel consumption
- Increased resource use
- Increased non-reusable waste
