Sustainable Organic Teas Now in Recycled Newspaper Boxes at Mountain Rose Herbs



I just received a press release from my favorite Herb Supplier, Mountain Rose Herbs. I purchase lots of Organic herbs for products and for personal use from Mountain Rose. Mountain Rose has a new Tea Box for their teas made from recycled newspapers. I usually get my tea from them in bulk, by the pound (my favorite is Lapsang Souchong Tea). But I think it is pretty cool for the 4 oz sizes. Here is all the info:


It’s Sustainable:

Cardboard Tea Box

- 100% post-consumer waste recycled newspaper
- Reusable
- Recyclable
- Biodegradable / Compostable
- Printed with soy ink and water-based varnish
- Recyclable labels

Inner Tea Bag

- Non-GMO tree cellulose, an industrial bi-product from the Pacific Northwest
- 100% Compostable
- Resealable with adhesive tab for freshness

Our Tea

- 100% Certified Organic Ingredients
- Earth Kosher Certified
- IMO Fair For Life ~ Fair Trade Certified varieties
- Time-tested formulas handcrafted by us for over 20

It’s Practical:

- Local co-ops and health food stores will now be able to stock our tea in the tea aisle
- Allows us to include detailed brewing instructions and a “resources saved” report
