Plastic Free Tea Bags, UK | Pennington’s Tea & Coffee

Plastic Free Tea Bags

No one wants microplastics in their brew. That’s why at Penningtons, our tea bags have always been 100% plastic-free and biodegradable. From our home in the Lake District, we craft teas that not only taste exceptional but also support your health and the environment. Our plastic-free tea bags are made from natural materials, free from harmful plastics like polypropylene. You won’t find any synthetic sealants or sneaky microplastics here – just pure, clean tea in every cup. Whether you’re relaxing with a classic English Breakfast, an uplifting Earl Grey, or a smooth decaf, our plastic-free tea bags offer a cleaner, more sustainable way to enjoy your favourite blends.

Why does plastic in tea bags matter?

Many conventional teabags are sealed using plastics that don’t break down naturally. When placed in hot water, they can release microplastics into your cup – and eventually into the environment. These aren’t fully biodegradable, and when composted incorrectly, they can introduce plastic particles back into the soil and food chain.

That’s why it’s important to know which teabags are plastic free. By switching to our biodegradable tea bags, you’re choosing a plastic-free tea experience that supports your wellbeing and reduces environmental harm. All our tea bags are fully compostable, and our boxes are 100% recyclable – making it easy to go greener with every brew.
