sustainability & environment
We try to do the decent thing; tea is a natural product and that means it shouldn't be altered by anything nasty (including attitudes). We believe in keeping it that way—just great tea, expertly blended and packed. We source our teas from high-quality estates that share our commitment to producing exceptional tea responsibly. For us, “doing the decent thing” means always striving for the best—for our teas, for the planet, and for those who grow and enjoy them.
stuff we're working on
We are dedicated to finding sustainable solutions for our consumers. While our sample envelopes are already recyclable, we’re also working on innovative, eco-friendly options for our loose-leaf tea pouches—stay tuned for exciting updates soon!
For matcha lovers, while our sachets are made from composite materials, we’re exploring ways to make them even more sustainable. If matcha is part of your everyday routine, consider trying our recyclable matcha tins instead!

rainforest alliance
Our everyday brew blend has Rainforest Alliance certification. Here is a little more about the work and objectives of the Rainforest Alliance and a nice little video which sums up the work they do. We’re working with the RA to get our black tea estates certified so you can see the little green frog on loads more of our packs!
ethical tea partnership
teapigs are members of The Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP); a not for profit organisation working to improve tea sustainability, the lives and livelihoods of tea workers and smallholder farmers, and the environment in which tea is produced.
