The Scottish Blend tea‘s pyramid teabags are now made from fully biodegradable plant-based materials. This saved almost 6 tonnes of oil-based plastic from waste.

After redesigning the tea bags, the company saved an equivalent of removing over a million plastic carrier bags from circulation.

According to Fiachra Moloney, the tea director at Unilever UK&I : “Here at Scottish Blend, we care about communities and the environment. That’s why we’re committed to making the very best possible tea for our community of Scottish Blend drinkers.”

“That means not only blending our tea to taste great in Scottish water, but a switch to a more environmentally friendly cuppa too.”

“We know our consumers are actively looking for sustainable products. Our fully biodegradable and compostable teabags and our plans to remove the outer plastic wrap will let our community enjoy a cuppa in peace, knowing they’re having a more positive impact on their local environment.”

Ralph Lutton, managing director of Brodies in Edinburgh, shares his secrets on how to make a perfect cup of tea.

Tips:

1. Always use a good quality loose leaf or bagged tea.
2. Loose leaf or bagged tea must be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature.
3. Always use freshly drawn boiling water.
4. In order to draw the best flavour out of the tea the water must contain oxygen – this is reduced if the water is boiled more than once.

Methods:

1. Measure the tea carefully.
2. Use one tea bag or one rounded teaspoon of loose tea for each cup to be served.
3. Allow the tea to brew for the recommended time before pouring.
4. If you are brewing tea from a bag in a mug add the milk last for the best flavour.
