Plastic Free July

Many tea bags hide a dirty secret: plastic. Microplastics in your cup don’t just harm the environment—they can end up in your body.

Tea bags contain hidden plastics, especially in their sealing. When you brew your cup of tea, these microplastics stay in your tea and do not get broken down by your body, which can have health risks. These microplastics have been linked to health conditions such as:

endocrine disruption
reproductive toxicity
cancer risk
problems with metabolism and nutrition
interference with neurodevelopment

Research shows that a single plastic tea bag can release billions of microplastic particles into your cup, raising concerns among health professionals.

Microplastics from conventional tea bags pose a serious environmental threat, polluting our oceans, contaminating soil, and harming wildlife. These tiny particles can persist for decades, disrupting ecosystems and even entering our food chain. Once in the environment, microplastics are nearly impossible to remove, making prevention through plastic-free choices even more critical. These particles have been found in marine life, drinking water, and even the air we breathe, highlighting the widespread nature of the issue.

This Plastic Free July, make the switch to teas without plastic packaging or hidden plastic in the tea bags. At NEMI Teas, we use plastic-free, biodegradable, and compostable tea bags, which are better for you and the planet.
