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
