Sustainability

Compostable filter. Recyclable envelopes. Family-owned land.

Sustainability at Balkan Tea is structural, not slogan-led. The bag itself composts. The envelope can be picked for full compostability. The herbs come from our own land - so the supply chain is short and documented.

Compostable paper packaging detail - the kind of material that defines our envelope choices.
Material sustainability

What ends up in the compost vs the bin.

Filter paper

Compostable

Non-heat-sealable filter paper. Goes in the compost.

Paper tag + string

Compostable

Paper tag composts. String is cotton-friendly thread - composts.

Envelope (your pick)

PLA + paper = compostable; OPP = recyclable; cellophane = industrial-compostable

You choose the envelope based on shelf-life and sustainability story.

Supply chain sustainability

Native Balkan herbs come from our own land.

For the herbal portion of any blend, the supply chain is direct: our family land in the Balkans, hand-harvested, processed at our facility, packed at our facility. Documented batch by batch since 1990. No broker chain, no third-party origin claim.
