Sip Sustainably: How Tea Kitamura's Eco-Friendly Tea Bags are Revolutionizing Tea Time


by Tea Kitamura April 09, 2024

In the world of tea, Tea Kitamura stands out not just for its exquisite flavors but also for its commitment to environmental sustainability. Most of Tea Kitamura's products, including all but their Ginger Roasted Tea, Ginger Beni Tea, and Ten Kinds Tea, are packaged in biodegradable tea bags. These tea bags aren't your ordinary packaging; they're crafted from plant-based materials, ensuring they meet rigorous food safety standards while being gentle on our planet. For the discerning tea drinker, this means enjoying your favorite brew with the peace of mind that comes from knowing you're supporting eco-friendly practices.

But what really sets these tea bags apart is their design. Engineered for superior permeability, they're ideal for unleashing the full flavor and aroma of tea leaves. They're tough enough to withstand boiling water without releasing any harmful substances, guaranteeing a safe, pure tea experience. When it comes to disposal, these tea bags show their true colors: they fully biodegrade into water and CO2, emitting no harmful gases even when burned. This results in significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional plastic tea bags. With their bacteriostatic and mildew-proof properties, Tea Kitamura's tea bags not only preserve the quality and freshness of the tea but also underscore a commitment to sustainable living. So, the next time you steep a cup of Tea Kitamura's tea, remember, you're part of a bigger movement – one sip at a time.
