One Steaming Mug at a Time

New Tea Company Aims to Save the World

A new organic tea company is working to save the world one tea bag at a time. Ocean of Tea was recently started by Terry Godier and Bob Liddle in St. Louis, MO. As Eat. Drink. Better. explained, so far Ocean of Tea is off to the right start in terms of making a sustainable business, they’re recycling, using compact fluorescent lights, using carbon stats to manage their carbon footprint to set the base and, within three years, they hope to be 70 to 80% off the grid.

What’s in it for you? Organic tea in eco-friendly packaging, a program that encourages consumers to send back tea tins to reduce waste, and, a portion of your order goes towards carbon credits to offset the emissions produced sending the tea to your door.

Join the green tea conversation during a Twitter Tea Party Friday at their Twitter page. Bottoms Up!
