Did you know that most 'silky' tea bags are made from plastic threading? When the plastic reaches too high a temperature known as "glass transition" temperature, the plastic can actually leech into your cup affecting the taste.
Our Genuine Tea Bags are made from a blend of wood pulp and hemp. They are fully biodegradable, friendly for the planet and friendly for your body.
Our drawstring tea bags make drinking premium quality loose leaf tea a breeze - simply scoop in your favourite tea, pull the drawstring and pop it into your cup!
Brew better, leaving nothing behind. Our pyramid bags are made entirely from plant-based materials. Unlike conventional tea bags that contain up to 25% plastic, ours break down in commercial compost in under 90 days and never leach microplastics into your cup.
Zero Plastics
Made from non-GMO corn-based PLA
Compostable
Breaks down in under 90 days
Safe Brewing
No harmful microplastics
Whole Leaf Quality
Pyramid shape for best flavour
Whole Leaf Tea
PREMIUM WHOLE LEAF QUALITY
Whole leaf, whole flavour. Our loose leaf teas allow leaves to fully unfurl and release their complex notes. Hand-blended and packed in Ontario, we never use artificial flavourings or additives—just exceptional whole-leaf teas sourced directly from farmers.
Absolutely! We're as passionate about our planet as we are about tea. 🌍💚 Our biodegradable, plant-based pyramid tea bags are not only kind to Mother Earth but also perfect for eco-conscious tea lovers like you. Dive deeper into how we're making sips sustainable in our blog and let's steep responsibly together!
📌 How should I steep my tea bag for the best flavour?
Brewing a delightful cup is both an art and a science! Here's a simple guide for steeped perfection:
Start with fresh, cold water and bring it to a boil.
Pour the hot water over the tea bag in your cup.
Let it steep for 3-5 minutes. Adjust steeping time based on your taste preference – longer for a bolder taste, and shorter for a milder flavour.
Remove the tea bag, give it a gentle squeeze to extract the full flavour, and enjoy!
🍵❤️ Tip: Each tea type has its ideal steeping time. Always check the tea's packaging for any specific recommendations!
📆 How long will my tea bags stay fresh?
When you keep our tea sealed in a cool, chill spot, it'll stay fresh and fab for up to 24 months. Popped open that seal? No worries! Just enjoy your brew within 6 months for that peak flavour.
You might consider exploring our airtight canisters, designed to preserve your tea's freshness just as effectively as the first time you opened it.
🌱 Is the tea organic?
While our tea is ethically sourced and of the highest quality, not all of them have official organic certification. However, each of our non-certified blends contains over 60% organic ingredients. For those in search of 100% certified organic options, we recommend exploring our selection of organic teas to find your perfect brew.
❤️ What makes Genuine Tea better than others?
Great question! Here's why we believe we stand out:
1. Ethical Sourcing: At Genuine Tea, our heart is in every leaf. Our teas are ethically sourced, ensuring that both our environment and the wonderful farmers who grow our leaves are treated with utmost respect.
2. A Cause Close to Our Heart: We're not just about brewing the perfect cup; we're about brewing a better world. We're deeply committed to promoting mental health and wellness. In fact, 1% of all our proceeds go straight to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). The CMHA is an incredible organization that works tirelessly to support recovery and resilience, ensuring all Canadians can flourish and thrive. Want to know more? Dive into our mental health support page.
So, when you sip Genuine Tea, know that it's not just good for your soul but also makes the world a tad brighter!
