T2 Tea Sustainability Actions

B Corp certified and recertified

T2 Tea says it became a certified B Corporation in 2020 and was recertified in 2023. B Corp is a certification for companies that meet set social and environmental standards. The brand says this shows it is trying to run the business in a way that puts people and the planet first. It also says the certification reflects work across its supply chain, not just one product or campaign.

Tea sourced sustainably

T2 Tea says that since 2021, 100% of its tea has been sustainably sourced. It says this covers fruits, spices, tea leaves, and herb bushes used in its blends. The brand also explains that some teas come from the same region each year, while others are sourced from different regions depending on season and quality. The claim is broad, but the page does not give a full public breakdown of how each ingredient is checked.

Compostable teabags introduced

T2 Tea says its tea has come in compostable teabags since 2021. It says the bag and string are made from PLA, which stands for polylactic acid, a plant-based bioplastic made from corn starch. The paper tag uses vegetable ink, and the bag is heat sealed without glue or staples. This is meant to make the teabag easier to break down after use, although composting rules can still depend on local waste systems.

Packaging changes for disposal

T2 Tea says almost all of its packaging is recyclable, reusable, or compostable, and that it labels packs to help people dispose of them correctly. It also says its loose-leaf tea uses compostable plant-based polybags, its shopping bags can be recycled, and its gift wrap is mostly recyclable. These changes are aimed at reducing waste, but the page does not give a full packaging audit or a percentage for each pack type.

Factory audits for teaware

T2 Tea says it checks the working conditions in factories that make its teaware. It says it uses third-party audits based on SMETA or BSCI standards. SMETA is a common audit method for labour and ethical trade, and BSCI is a business-led system for checking supply chain working conditions. T2 Tea says it will stop working with suppliers that fail these audits, and that it sometimes works with small family-owned makers in countries such as Portugal, Nepal, and Japan.
