Description

The fight on plastic and microplastics is epidemic and we recognise a big part of it starts with business.
When we first started Hampstead Tea, it was essential to make sure our practices and packaging were sustainable. That’s why we were the first to bring stitched (not glued) tea bags to the UK – many other tea brands still use plastic or GM tea bags.
And it didn’t end there, with the help of packaging manufacturers seeking environmentally friendly innovation, we now offer our Loose Leaf Tea pouches in a new material called NatureFlex TM.
By committing to be plastic free* and compostable, we want to make sure that when you buy from us, you’re not just supporting a business—you’re supporting a movement toward a better future for everyone.

Biodynamic is super-organic; it’s at the heart of who we are and what our tea is. Biodiversity goes beyond Organic, encapsulating the entirety of farming.
Using regenerative farming methods, biodynamic farmers prioritise encouraging natural processes over yield, for example, the way soil is prepared to strengthen it’s growing qualities. It ensures the best practices for the workers, the tea plants and the earth. When packing has the Demeter logo, you know it is biodynamic.
With our biodynamic tea you can be assured that the earth is richer, the wildlife blooms, that the tea plants are healthy and full of nutrients.


Way back in the late 1980s we were among the first in the UK to produce Fairtrade certified products, so we’re a bit sentimental about it. Since then our Fairtrade range has grown and our passion has remained. As part of our mission to give back more than we take, that also includes supporting the workers and their families. Fairtrade is an excellent organisation which, among other great things, gives the workers a premium which they invest into healthcare, education and housing.
