Preferably by post? I'm trying to ditch the teabags.

T2 tea is lovely, and has pretty minimal packaging!

There’s an ethical living section? Shock

Teapigs!

Try Atkinson's of Lancaster, amazing tea and coffee merchants. pretty sure they do mail order

Will look up T2. I thought teapigs came in those nylon pyramids. Didn’t know they did loose leaf. I’m looking for something in cardboard or paper only if poss and posted without a Jiffy or plastic bag. Is that possible?

Tea pigs come in corn starch temples bags.

Found teapigs loose leaf but it looks like it has a plastic packet. Does anyone know? Could try the temples but they are £££ for everyday tea drinking aren’t they?

Edinburgh Tea is loose leaf and comes in a meta tin. It's not cheap but it is lovely!

Google The Gilded Teapot. They have lovely loose tea in paper bags.

Bristol tea company but its not a cheap option ...

AthenaAshton · 11/01/2018 20:19

Fortnum and Mason (though also not cheap)...

I'm lucky enough to live close to m.facebook.com/J.A.Braithwaite don't think they do delivery though

Jardins de Gaia is a super-ethical mail order tea company. Literally hundreds to choose from.

Suki tea? suki-tea.com
I don't know what their postage type packing is like (I buy it in the market) but the tea is packed in a paper bag.

[[https://bluebirdteaco.com/uk_en/ Bluebird Tea co]] and yumchaa both sell loose leaf tea in brown paper packaging.

H.R. Higgins Coffee Man do a wide range of teas and coffees that come to you in a delightful brown paper package tied up with string. You can buy a metal caddy for it very reasonably if you prefer.
