Each bag is designed to steep a single serving of tea, offering convenience for everyday enjoyment. The organic certification means the tea is cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, adhering to strict environmental guidelines.

To prepare, place one tea bag in a mug. Pour freshly boiled water over the tea bag. Allow it to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Remove the tea bag and discard. You can add milk, sugar, honey, or lemon to taste. For a larger batch, use multiple tea bags in a teapot and steep for the same duration before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to conventional black teas, organic fairtrade tea bags are cultivated using methods that prioritize environmental sustainability and social responsibility.

Organic farming avoids synthetic chemicals, potentially resulting in a cleaner taste profile.

How to keep the rest
Store the remaining tea bags in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure the box is sealed to maintain freshness and prevent the tea from absorbing moisture or other flavors, which can affect its taste over time.
