RAINFOREST ALLIANCE

All Yorkshire Tea products are Rainforest Alliance Certified™, grown and harvested on farms and forests that follow their sustainable practices. This certification encompasses all three pillars of sustainability — social, economic, and environmental.

ETHICAL TEA PARTNERSHIP

We’re also members of the Ethical Tea Partnership – with them we are able to partner with our suppliers and other tea companies to develop and support initiatives at community level as well as responding to major social and environmental challenges that the tea industry still faces.

The box

The box is made from cartonboard, which is made from trees – a renewable resource that can easily be replenished.

This goes in your paper and cardboard recycling.

The tea bags

75% of the tea bag material is natural-based fibres: a mix of wood pulp and either abaca (a kind of banana plant) or rayon (made from woodpulp). 25% is an oil-based plastic sealing material called polypropylene, but we plan to switch that to what we now use to seal most of our other tea bags - a renewable, plant-based, industrially compostable bioplastic called Polylactic Acid (PLA), which is made from cornstarch.

At the moment, these should go in your refuse bin.

The inner wrap

This is made from metallised polyethylene (an oil-based plastic). We'd like to change this packaging once we've changed the outer wrap on our other tea boxes (that’s a much higher overall volume of plastic, which is why we’re tackling that first).

This isn't currently recyclable, so it should go in your refuse bin.

what is Peppermint & Spearmint Tea?

Mint tea can sometimes be a bit ‘meh’ – and that’s often down to the quality of the mint in the blend. So, we make sure to get our hands on the really good stuff, using mint leaves that are properly full of potent minty flavour. Peppermint brings the punch, ‘cause it’s properly packed with menthol. Then spearmint brings more menthol, plus an aromatic note and a touch of sweetness. Together, they're a powerhouse.
