Plant-based tea bags that are compostable

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.
