Sustainability & Values
We make a big thing about real tea. By real tea, we mean BIG, whole tea leaves, whole herbs, whole berries, whole spices ...you get the picture.
Big leaf = Big flavor... simple!
Given that tea solves all of life’s problems (…for the most part), why would you scrimp on the good stuff!?
You can’t fit big loose leaf tea into a normal paper teabag. That’s why our teas come in tea “temples” ? a roomy bag that gives the leaves the freedom to move about and release their big, bold flavor. Loose tea ? in a bag.
If you’re already a real tea convert, hooray… our work here is done. If not, now’s your chance to upgrade to something way better, and see what we mean by real tea!
We have 34 teas in all shapes and sizes. Not sure where to start? Try our english breakfast, it’s a game changer.
Most of the tea for our signature english breakfast comes from Gisenyi in Rwanda and we work with the Point Foundation - who are based there - to support orphans and vulnerable young people in the area. We make a donation to the Point Foundation with every pack of english breakfast we sell. We also match donations our customers make on our website and run regular fundraising efforts, so whether intentionally or not, if you've ever bought our english breakfast you are responsible for some amazing work being carried out in Rwanda - thank you!!
The Point Foundation runs a disability program in collaboration with the Gallagher Trust. They manage houses that provide specialist care and accommodation for disabled children and young adults. teapigs fully fund one of the houses ? Teapigs house - home to 9 people with disabilities. Our donations also go towards the upkeep of other houses. Sadly, there’s still a huge stigma attached to disability in Rwanda, but this is changing, and with the right support, nutrition, medical, personal and emotional care, people with disabilities have found a new way of living.
Donations from Teapigs go towards the hidden costs of education like uniforms, school lunches, books and transport at the UCC Children’s School. Over 500 pupils attend the school and 52 of them have severe physical or learning difficulties. The children used to share one book between three but our donations have bought over 400 more books and counting.
Teapigs used to donate to an orphanage that sat opposite the Pfunda tea estate called Noel Orphanage. The orphanage has now closed but we’re really proud to have sponsored 28 young people from the Noel through University. Young people really are Rwanda’s primary resource so ensuring they have access to education helps the development of the country as well as protecting the children’s future. With only 2 left to graduate, it seems like the end of an era, but the impact is already being felt with Joyeuse, who’s qualifying for a diploma in Early Education, teaching Nursery Class at the UCC.

Our english breakfast blend is 100% Rainforest Alliance certified. We’re working with the Rainforest Alliance to get our black tea estates certified so you can see the little green frog on loads more of our packs! (Rainforest Alliance, 2020)
We’re an approved supplier of the Sustainable Restaurant Association which helps guide restaurants in all areas of sustainability ? from the way they source their products, to the way they impact society, staff and the environment.
Our tea bags (or tea temples!) are made from plant starch and the label on the end of the string is made from simple, old-fashioned paper. Even the ink on the label is vegetable-based, and everything is sealed with heat ? so no glue! As a result, you can pop them in your council food waste collection. (A Plastic Planet, 2020)
The clear inner bag is made from wood pulp. Cool, right!? This means you can pop them in your council food waste for collection or home compost. (Vincotte OK home compost certification, 2020)
We use sustainable FSC certified paperboard for our outer cartons so you can simply pop them in your recycling bin. (FSC certified, 2020)
