We use single-serve packets because our tea and coffee powder is sensitive to moisture - even the moisture in the air. A jar with a scoop doesn’t work because the powder clumps up over time and becomes unscoopable. And we're still looking for a 100% sustainable, preferably compostable material that will stand up to the demands of backpacking, camping and active life while preventing even the smallest amount of humidity or moisture from interacting with our tea and coffee powder. We welcome suggestions on solutions we should consider - please email support@cusatea.com if you have one to share!
In the meantime, we help you recycle those empty tea and coffee packets so they don’t end up in landfills. Head on over to our Recycling Page to learn how you can do that.
