Did you know that January is “National Hot Tea Month?” Well, yesterday we brought you Kicking Horse Organic Teas and today we have another tea alternative. Revolution T-Organics offers hot teas that are certified organic and are available in yummy flavors: Scottish Breakfast, Green Earl Grey, Huckleberry Red Herbal and White Chai. And as you sip this delicious tea you can feel good about the packaging too. The leaves are bagged in biodegradable tea bags, called The Pyramid Bag, which allows you to see the leaves as you enjoy them but doesn’t take years to decompose. Additionally, the sleek canisters are recyclable but also re-usable. Each are sold separately ($7.99) but if you can’t decide then you can go with the 4-pack ($28.99). And in celebration of “National Hot Tea Month,” shipping is free until the end of January on orders over $40. Via ::Daily Olive ::Revolution T-Organics
They don't seem to be fair trade, unfortunately.
Aren't all teabags biodegradable? I've been putting the things into my compost for years under the assumption that they were just paper...
Turil- yes, tea bags are biodegradable, though if it is the kind with a string attached, make sure you take out the metal staple.
Cat, why take out the staple? I believe they are steel, which will rust nicely in the wet, warm atmosphere of the compost.
