Brewing Change, One Capsule at a Time
What if your daily tea could be more than a comforting ritual? What if each sip was also a quiet act of climate action? For decades, tea bags and pods have created unseen mountains of plastic waste. But a new wave of biodegradable tea capsules is transforming the way we brew, making convenience and sustainability partners, not rivals.
Instant Gratification, Planet-Friendly
Tea lovers are busy people. We want flavour, comfort, and ritual, but we also want it now. Our capsules dissolve in just 3 seconds, no steeping, no mess. The difference? They’re made with PHA, cotton, and wood, designed to return safely to nature rather than linger as microplastics.
Unlike traditional pods, ours are:
Plastic free
Marine biodegradable
Compostable at home
Protected with a recyclable foil seal
The Hidden Cost of Convenience
According to Greenpeace’s recent report 'Trashed' (July 2024), less than 10% of UK household plastic packaging is actually recycled; the rest often ends up burned, buried, or shipped overseas. Each conventional tea bag or pod contributes to that cycle. By contrast, biodegradable tea capsules break free from this linear 'use and discard' system, proving that fast doesn’t have to mean wasteful.Reference:

More Than a Drink: A Giftable Ritual
Tea is never just a beverage. It’s comfort, a pause, a gesture of care. That’s why our eco tea capsules make thoughtful sustainable gifts. Gifting DE1 Tea’s premium blends means sharing both flavour and values, a thoughtful choice for conscious consumers who want to sip more sustainably.
A Future Steeped in Sustainability
The future of tea is circular, not linear. Packaging that returns to the earth, flavour that delights without compromise, and rituals that connect us back to nature. Tea capsules are not just the future of brewing, they’re the bridge between convenience and conscience.
