Tea-drinkers are now becoming more conscious of the harmful effects of plastic and choosing to support plastic free tea brands.
Research has shown just how harmful microplastics in teabags can be. The research from McGill University found that just “one bag of tea released about 11.6 billion microplastic and 3.1 billion nanoplastic particles into the water at brewing temperatures.”
Naturally, tea drinkers do not want to consume harmful microplastics so there has been an increase in consumers choosing to purchase from loose leaf tea brands.
Loose leaf tea is better for the person drinking it and the environment.
It also gives a more flavourful and rich taste, much stronger than the regular teabag which is produced on an industrial level and is known to contain broken tea leaves and tea dust.
At In Nature Teas, we are proud to say we are plastic free and this has been part of our ethos since we started out in 2005.
