The TCW Way
Tea Culture Of The World was conceived as an experiential company that stimulates the mind and benefits the health.
Sourcing
We source exceptional botanical ingredients from all over the world and authentic teas from the origin.
Fair Trade
Tea that is produced and traded in a fair way that is socially and environmentally sustainable, the farmers & workers receive fair wages, have good working conditions, and promote community development. these principles supports the tea industry at large.
Freeze Drying
All ingredients are freeze dried. Freeze drying retains the nutritional value, flavor and texture helping us to create the best quality blends all year through. The process also helps to keep intact the natural oils in the herbs, which is what gives them their flavor.
Soilon Tea Bags
We use Soilon because it’s 100% biodegradable. Made from a lactic acid extracted from corn starch, it’s fully decomposable and suitable for composting. Which means, zero contribution to plastic pollution in the form of micro-plastics (found in regular pyramid teabags). Our tea bags are glue, resin and staple free.
Conscious Recycling
This is our internal rallying call. Whatever we do, we need to become conscious natives of the little blue dot that we inhabit. In that effort, we do everything we can to not let things go into waste. To ensure that the circle of good is always paying itself forward.
