Teabags: 20
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.
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 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.
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.
This is made from metallised polypropylene (an oil-based plastic). This can be recycled by taking it to your local supermarket collection point.
You need two things for a brilliant green tea: very good quality tea leaves, and plenty of them. So, we use a really good quality Japanese Sencha green tea and make sure there's plenty of it in the tea bag, so the flavour’s really smooth and satisfying. Then, for even more taste, we’ve paired it up with the flavours of strawberry and vanilla. It gives it this scrumptious quality that makes it extra moreish – fruity and tangy with a bit of sweetness so it’s really tasty. It's a green tea lovely enough to win over people who think they don't like green tea.
