A few weeks ago, we talked about making your coffee eco-friendly. If you’re a tea drinker, like me, here’s a few ideas.Opt for organically grown, fair trade teas, like Rishi-Tea’s Citron Oolong, Steenberg’s Darjeeling, or my favorite, Republic of Tea’s Lapsang Souchong.

Buy tea in loose leaf form, not in the bag, and get a tea brewing basket, an infuser ball, pot, or spoon, or a bamboo infuser. You’ll cut down on waste significantly.

And, to really green things up, get an efficient electric tea pot like the Eco-Kettle, with side window and cup lines so you don’t waste energy boiling more water than you need.

Enjoy!
