Reusable Organic Cotton Tea Filters

$16.00
/

Did you know most tea bags contain plastic? Make the switch to loose leaf tea and a reusable cotton filter to zero waste-ify your daily tea routine. These cotton fabric tea filters are reusable for a year or more, replacing 500+ disposable filters. Each filter is made with Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton, meaning the cotton is not only grown without pesticides and less water than conventional, but adheres to strict ethical practices too. Elevate your daily tea routine sustainably!

Size

These filters come packaged in a set of two.

Materials

Made with 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and a metal ring closure.

To Use

Add your favorite loose-leaf tea to the filter and steep for your desired amount of time. Compost the spent tea leaves and rinse filter thoroughly. Hang to dry.

Care

When you first receive your filters, boil them in hot water for 10 minutes to sanitize and preshrink. Allow to dry between uses, and every two weeks or so boil again until water runs clear. (Each filter box includes detailed care instructions.)

Packaging + End of Life

Each set of 2 filters come packaged in a cardboard box, which can be recycled with curbside paper recycling. The filters themselves should last at least a year with proper care, but when they reach the end of their life, they can be cut up and home composted. The metal ring should first be removed and recycled with metal recycling.

Origin

Handmade in Austin, Texas.

Don't take our word for it...

Let's go to the real winner in my eyes. Honestly, I could have purchased this exact razor many other places, but the packaging A Drop in the Ocean uses to ship will have me coming back time and time gain.

My first purchase from them was some floss a while ago and it arrived in a reused tea box with a hand written note that was written on scrap paper. I was blown away.

I had never seen a company who claimed to be sustainable ACTUALLY prove to be sustainable through and through. The fact that every piece of the packaging was reused and minimal will have me come back over and over again. If I can purchase it here, I will purchase it here.
