Why Loose Leaf Tea Protects the Planet Better Than “Eco-Friendly” Trends

Here is what most brands never say out loud: many commercial tea bags are made with plastic.

A 2019 McGill University study found that a single plastic tea bag can release 11.6 billion microplastics and 3.1 billion nanoplastics into one cup.

Loose leaf tea avoids this entirely. No plastic fibers. No bleach. No industrial glues.

A sustainability review from the University of Sheffield found loose leaf tea reduces packaging waste by up to 60 percent.

Loose leaf is not just a luxury experience. It is the most environmentally responsible way to drink tea.

Quiet luxury is sustainability without applause. Care without noise.

Loose leaf tea is not a trend. It is tea in its truest form.
