Each cardboard cube contains a sealed bag to keep your tea fresh.  The bags we use are made from Polylactic acid or PLA derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch, tapioca roots, chips or starch, or sugarcane. This bag is degradable and is considered compostable. However, just like a banana skin, it is worth remembering PLA doesn’t disappear overnight, it requires a good temperature to help it degrade. For this reason we recommend that you put used pyramid tea bags into your local council compost and don’t just throw them in the garden.

If you really want to help the environment we suggest you use loose leaf teas.
