How do you source your tea?

What is PHA in your tea capsules?
PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) is a plant-based, biodegradable material that safely decomposes in various natural environments, including marine settings, making it an eco-friendly packaging choice.
Are all of your teas vegan?
Yes, all our teas are 100% vegan. We use plant-based ingredients and natural flavourings with no animal-derived additives.
Are all of your teas gluten-free?
Yes, our teas are naturally gluten-free. While we take care to prevent cross-contamination, individuals with severe gluten sensitivities should consult us directly.
Do you have decaf tea?
Yes, we offer select decaf options for those seeking lower caffeine levels. Check our “Tea Type” section for the full range of available decaf blends.
What is natural flavouring?
Natural flavourings are pure extracts, essences, and oils derived from natural ingredients like plants or fruits, with no synthetic additives. These flavourings are allergen-free, rigorously tested, and compliant with Food Standards Agency (FSA) standards. They are used in small amounts to enhance flavour without altering the tea’s natural quality.
ABOUT OUR TEA
How should I brew your teas?
