Are We Actually Microplastic Free?

Rooted's teabags are lab-tested by PolyGone Solutions, a leading microplastic analysis lab. Unlike most brands that rely on heat-sealed bags (which release an average of 11.6 billion microplastics per steep), Rooted uses stitched cotton bags -no plastic, no toxins, no hidden ingredients. Below is our full third-party lab certification.

Most Tea Bags...

...contain polypropylene, PLA bioplastic, or nylon mesh to help seal the bag together. When exposed to hot water, tea bags can release microplastics into the brewed tea.

Rooted Teas was created to provide a truly plastic free alternative. Our tea bags are made from 100% unbleached cotton and stitched instead of heat sealed.
