Our Tea Bags: Made with Neosoilon – Eco-Friendly, Compostable, and Superior Quality!
We are committed to providing an environmentally friendly experience with every cup of tea you enjoy. Our tea bags are made from Neosoilon, a biodegradable material made from PLA (Polylactic Acid), which is derived from renewable plant-based sources like corn or sugarcane.
What is Neosoilon?
Neosoilon is a compostable material made from PLA, a bioplastic that offers an eco-conscious alternative to traditional plastic-based products. PLA is a naturally sourced polymer, meaning it’s derived from plant starches and is biodegradable and compostable under the right conditions. Neosoilon provides the same functionality as conventional tea bags, but with the added benefit of being much more sustainable.
What is PLA?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable plastic made from renewable resources like corn or sugarcane. It is considered a safe and environmentally friendly option because it decomposes into natural substances such as water and carbon dioxide when composted. Unlike petroleum-based plastics, PLA does not release harmful chemicals during degradation.
Compostability
Our tea bags are commercially compostable! After brewing your tea, you can dispose of the used tea bag in a commercial composting facility. Neosoilon tea bags require higher temperatures and specific conditions to break down effectively, which are typically found in industrial composting operations.
What About Home Composting?
While Neosoilon tea bags are compostable, they are not suitable for home composting because they need higher temperatures to break down efficiently. In home compost bins, they may take longer to decompose. For best results, we recommend disposing of used tea bags in a commercial compost bin or taking them to a nearby composting facility.
What If You Don't Have Access to Commercial Composting?
If you don't have access to a commercial composting facility, you can safely dispose of the tea bags in your general waste. The Neosoilon material will still break down over time in a landfill, and by choosing our compostable tea bags, you are helping reduce plastic waste overall.
High-Quality Tea Leaves, No Dust or Fannings
Our tea bags contain only premium, whole tea leaves—no dust, no fannings. We take pride in using only the finest tea leaves to deliver a superior taste and a smooth, full-bodied tea experience. Unlike many standard tea bags that use lower-quality tea dust or fannings, our tea bags are filled with carefully selected, whole-leaf tea that ensures you get the best flavor with every brew.
Is PLA Safe?
Yes, PLA is considered safe for use in food-related products. It is non-toxic and does not contain harmful chemicals such as BPA. Additionally, when properly composted, PLA does not contribute to microplastics or other environmental pollutants.
How to Dispose of Our Tea Bags
