What Makes Char Tea Bags Different?

As a primarily loose-leaf tea merchant, a question we get asked a lot in the shop is 'do you do tea bags?'. The answer, of course, is yes. However, the price point of our tea bags often gives people pause. In truth, it is more economical and environmentally friendly to drink loose leaf tea, but we are all human with time pressures and preferences and not ideal versions of humans. So, why should you choose Char's tea bags over supermarket ones besides the obvious factor of tea quality?

Let us take a journey of appreciation for the humble tea bag.

Soilon Teabags: A Sustainable Sip

Have you ever wondered about the environmental impact of your daily cup of tea? While the beverage itself is often associated with relaxation and comfort, the traditional tea bag can pose a hidden concern. Many tea bags contain plastic, which can take centuries to decompose. At Char, we are aware that the choices we make as a business affect not just those within our company, supplying our company, or customers - our business choices have lasting impacts on the planet itself, so finding the right supplier for our tea bags was vital.

Enter Soilon teabags - a sustainable alternative. These innovative tea bags are made from a unique blend of natural fibres, primarily wood pulp and non-woven fabric. This composition not only ensures the tea bag's biodegradability but also enhances the overall quality of the tea-brewing experience as any flavour impact that the bag itself is having on the tea is natural, and the bags are constructed to give the tea within space to infuse thoroughly in the water.

Why Choose Soilon Teabags?

1. Eco-Friendly: Soilon teabags are designed to decompose naturally, minimising their environmental footprint.
2. High-Quality Tea Experience: The natural fibres used in Soilon teabags allow for optimal tea infusion, resulting in a richer, more flavourful brew.
3. Safe and Non-Toxic: Made from plant-based materials, Soilon teabags are free from harmful chemicals and plastics.
4. Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of teas, from delicate green teas to robust black teas.

By choosing Char teabags, you're not just enjoying a delicious cup of tea; you are voting with your pound to support independent businesses and making a conscious choice to protect the planet.
