The Science of Purity

Stitched, not glued. Here's why it matters.

Traditional tea bags are heat-sealed at 150°C, which damages fibers and sheds microplastics. We use mechanical stitching at room temperature — preserving every fiber, zero plastic.

Ultrasonic Heat Seal

PLA melted at 150°C becomes brittle, fracturing in hot water and shedding 11.6 billion microplastic particles per bag.
