Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from how our ingredients are grown to how your order arrives at your door. We believe that creating high-quality teas should never come at the expense of the planet. Every choice we make is intentional, thoughtful, and rooted in long-term environmental responsibility.
Compostable Packaging
Our stand-up pouches are made from a plant-based film derived from certified wood pulp cellulose and printed using compostable, certified inks. These materials are carefully selected to minimize environmental impact while maintaining product freshness and quality.
​
Our packaging is designed to decompose naturally in 8 to 12 months in a backyard compost, returning back to the earth without leaving harmful residues. By choosing compostable packaging over conventional plastic, we significantly reduce long-term waste and help prevent pollution in landfills and oceans.
This is our commitment to circular design, where packaging is not waste, but part of nature’s cycle.
Locally Sourced Ingredients
We proudly source all of our ingredients locally from Canadian companies. By working closely with domestic suppliers, we are able to reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation, including COâ‚‚ emissions from international shipping.
Beyond environmental benefits, local sourcing allows us to:
-
Support Canadian farmers and producers
-
Strengthen local economies
-
Ensure fresher, higher-quality ingredients
-
Build transparent and ethical supply chains
Choosing local isn’t just better for the planet, it’s an investment in our communities and their sustainable growth.
Organic Certified Ingredients
All of our teas and herbal ingredients are certified organic, which is essential to us because tea is consumed by extracting everything the plant absorbs into hot water.
Organic certification ensures that our plants are grown without:
-
Synthetic pesticides
-
Chemical fertilizers
-
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
-
Sewage sludge
-
Artificial growth regulators
Choosing organic teas benefits not only your body, but also the environment. Organic farming practices help reduce chemical runoff into waterways, protect soil health, support biodiversity, and maintain natural ecosystems. By working with organic producers, we support a cleaner, healthier, and more balanced cycle of growth.
Plastic-Free Shipping
We are dedicated to reducing single-use plastic throughout our shipping process. From order fulfillment to final delivery, we actively avoid unnecessary plastic wherever possible and prioritize recyclable, compostable, or reusable alternatives.
This approach helps minimize waste, reduce environmental pollution, and align our shipping practices with our sustainability values , because responsibility doesn’t end once the product leaves our hands.
Our Ongoing Commitment
Sustainability is not a trend for us. it is a continuous journey. We are always looking for ways to improve, refine, and innovate our processes to further reduce our environmental impact while delivering products you can feel good about.
Every purchase you make supports a more thoughtful way of doing business, one that respects nature, values people, and works toward a healthier planet for future generations.
