Are your teas suitable for vegans and vegetarians?

Yes, our teas are blended using only the highest quality natural plant ingredients free from any animal products.

What are your tea bags made from?

Our tea bags are made from sugar cane and are biodegradable and home compostable. They are free from synthetic fungicides, preservatives, pesticides and nanoparticle material.

Are there any glues or adhesives in your tea bags?

We work hard at creating minimal impact in everything we do, including the use of glues and adhesives.

We do not use any glue to attach the tea string to the bag, instead we use an Ultra Sonic Sealing technology.

We use PLA laminate (a bioplastic is plastic that is derived from renewable, natural resources such as corn or sugarcane) used to attach the filter.

Do you use plastic in your packaging?

We aim to be as light on the environment as possible and this includes the use of packaging.

To send your tea, we send your package in a cardboard box using green wrap, and honeycombed paper packaging to stop from any damage through the post.

There is use of a packing tape to seal the box, but this is minimal.

Does MOOD tea expire?

As we use premium dried ingredients, your MOOD tea will last approximately one year from purchase date.

How do I best enjoy my MOOD tea?

We want you to enjoy your tea, so we have created a few brewing tips below:

Temperature:
Herbal teas taste best when the temperature of the water is approximately 100 degrees.

Strength:
We recommend steeping your tea for at least 3 minutes to get the full strength of the tea flavour.

Hot Tea
Step 1: Boil your water to 100°C and pour it into your favourite mug
Step 2: Drop in your tea bag, leaving the tag outside
Step 3: Leave it for 3-5 mins (the longer you leave it, the stronger the taste). We recommend you use these minutes to take a moment for yourself. Treat yourself to a mini-meditation, some mindful breathing or maybe just some good old fashioned daydreaming.
Step 4: Use a teaspoon to give your tea bag a quick squeeze before removing it and enjoying your cuppa!

Iced Tea
To make a pitcher of Iced Tea, boil the kettle then pour into a heat proof jug. Add in approximately 3-6 tea bags and let steep for at least 20 minutes. Add plenty of ice and stir. You can add herbs or slices of lemon for extra zing.
