The Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP) is an organization that ensures tea estates follow ethical standards for the living and working conditions of their contractors and employees. Cue The Tea prioritizes the purchasing of ETP certified teas whenever possible.
03. Ethical Tea Partnership
At Cue the Tea, we care about what's in your cup, but we also want to make an effort to reduce our environmental footprint. We are committed to using 100% compostable, plastic-free bags. They are either made from non-GMO sugar cane or Soilon®, a material derived from cornstarch and other natural fibers.
04. Compostable & plant-based tea bags
Quality is of paramount importance to us. To provide you with clean and traceable products, we target teas that not only use natural ingredients and raw materials, but also originate from local brands and local processors. This dedication to local partnerships enhances the freshness of our teas and offers you an authentic tea experience.
