If you really care about living a more sustainable life then you’ll be pleased to know just how many sustainable choices we are making here at Tea Life to be more eco-friendly as a company.
Of course, you’re probably already aware that we only sell organic tea which is ethically farmed and harvested so you know the product you’re getting is the very best for both you and the planet.
However, you might not be aware of the other choices we’ve made over the years that make us a more eco-conscious choice when purchasing tea.
Why Choose Organic Tea?
Organic tea is as beneficial to you as it is to the planet. The practice of growing organic tea means no nasty chemicals, pesticides, or synthetic fertilisers are used in the farming process. This means that less chemicals are being put into the environment and upsetting the delicate ecosystem where the tea is growing.
It also allows you to absorb all the benefits of your chosen blend of tea without ingesting any nasty surprises along with it.
Organic tea farmers are often working on much smaller parcels of land so it’s fantastic to be able to support local farmers, smaller businesses, and people who care about our planet. We get to be more ethical with our pricing and develop long standing relationships with these farmers who provide us with tasty tea.
Speaking of taste, some tea experts believe that organic tea tastes better. Of course, this is really down to personal preference but it’s definitely something to consider if you love the taste of tea!
Eco-Friendly Packaging
One aspect of purchasing eco-friendly tea you might overlook is the packaging. Here at TeaLife, we’ve taken time to design our packaging, making sure to use the most sustainable choices wherever possible.
Not only that, but you might have noticed the resealable zip on the top of the pouches containing our tea. This keeps your tea much fresher for longer without the need to purchase any extra containers. It also allows you to purchase tea only when you’ve run out instead of when it’s gone bad!
Recycling Our Packaging
While our tea packaging cannot currently be put into normal recycling bins, there is a way you can recycle them! The red recycling bins you can find in Woolworths are the easiest way to recycle TeaLife packaging.
We are also working on some new cardboard packaging ideas for our blooming teas and pu-erh cakes to help reduce their carbon footprint too!
Packed in Australia
Avoiding any extra air miles is a huge step towards sustainability which is why we pack everything right here in Australia! Obviously we’ve taken this one step further to make sure that all of our packaging materials are sustainable too.
These two small changes can really make a huge difference and if more companies took this approach to shipping out their products then it would make a massive impact on climate change.
We also made the switch to a more sustainable packaging machine in 2023 which was when we managed to secure our sustainable ziplock packaging as well as our beautiful laser printed labels!

Australian-Owned and Australian-Operating
Our packaging isn’t the only thing happening right here in Australia. We are a 100% Australian-owned company and we try to complete as many stages of our business in Australia as possible.
It’s even better if we can do everything right on our doorstep. This allows us to travel much less and it means that our products take fewer steps to get to you. All of this saves us from burning a lot of fossil fuels which is always a great way to be more sustainable.
In-House Blending
One of our proudest achievements is that we have managed to keep our blending processes entirely in-house. This is yet another stage where we cut out the distance our products need to travel before they reach you.
However, this stage also allows us to monitor exactly what goes into every single bag of our tea and even keep the prices down for our lovely customers!
