No Plastic.
Sipping a cup of tea is meant to be a restorative ritual, a moment of nourishment for both the body and the planet. It's about sipping and composting, embracing a natural, full-circle sustainable health habit. Here at Peach Pollen, we're passionate about fostering a deeper connection with nature, with herbs, soil, and everything in between. And it all begins with a simple but powerful steep, I mean step… – rejecting plastic, plastic packaging, and the culture of waste.
Plastic has insidiously infiltrated many aspects of our lives, including our tea bags. And still a significant portion of the world's oil production is diverted towards creating more plastic, and manufacturing it. Back in the 1950s, the introduction of food-grade plastics like polypropylene and nylon revolutionized fabric and packaging, making it cheaper, more flexible. But as convenient as plastic tea bags might seem, they come with a hefty environmental cost. Plastic has a nasty habit of leaching into our water, our surroundings, and eventually into our bodies. Recent research utilizing electron microscopy revealed the alarming truth – a single plastic tea bag brewed at 203°F releases an astonishing number of microplastics and nanoplastics into your cup, like billions…
These minuscule plastic particles, find their way into both aquatic and terrestrial environments, infiltrating the food chain and water supplies, and ultimately accumulating within our bodies. It's a concerning cycle that Peach Pollen refuses to perpetuate.
In a world where more and more people are prioritizing sustainability and reducing their plastic footprint, it's essential to offer alternatives. While plastic tea bags dominate the market, we advocate for a different approach – compostable packaging, compostable tea bags & embracing loose-leaf tea. At Peach Pollen, sustainability isn't just a marketing buzzword – it's our commitment to providing you with the finest teas, free from plastic and full of flavor. Cheers to a greener, tastier tomorrow. Sip it. Compost it.
Love, Peach Pollen
