🌱 Grocery store tea bags contain tea that is almost powdered. 🤔🤨 swipe 👉🏻 to see what’s inside.

🌱When you opt for ’s tea bags you can rest assured you’re getting QUALITY. Our tea bags contain our same premium loose leaf artisan teas that find on our shelves. You can purchase most any of our teas in tea bag form if that is your preference.

🌱Recently there’s health concerns about the material that tea bags are made from…ie microplastics. We use a corn based PLA material and heat seal, so no worries about microplastics or glue escaping into your cup. Our pyramid bags make for roomy steeping for those gorgeous whole tea leaves to expand.

🌱You never know how long conventional tea bags have been boxed up sitting on the shelves, but ’s tea bags are made by us in small batches using tea that we take great effort to ensure is fresh and pure.

🌱Which tea bag would you prefer?

The fact is, your biological age may just be significantly different than your chronological age based on life factors, including genetics and lifestyle.

Aging is affected by both internal factors that we are born with and external factors, some of which we can influence.

Our biological age is the result of those factors combined...to understand the differences between chronological age and biological age, check out my new blog post! And, find out how tea can help and be a factor in your biological age! ~ Philip Parda, Owner Savvy Tea Gourmet; DrinkGreatTea

High value teas are those that come from proven genetic stock, and that grow in conditions advantageous to having high value content produced as the leaves grow.

It is the plant genes, the growing environment and the period of time the leaves are grown that all contribute to producing the most prolific ingredient in the leaf...that is, the ingredient that is most favorable in helping us both love each sip and have the satisfaction that we are contributing to minimizing our biological age.
