TL;DR:
Reusable organic cotton tea bags for loose-leaf tea. Plastic-free, GOTS certified and home compostable at the end of life. Looking for plastic-free tea bags in the UK? These reusable organic cotton tea bags offer a truly plastic-free alternative to standard tea bags. Each bag is washable and reusable. Ideal for tea, herbs and spices in UK homes.
Most regular tea bags use plastic, such as polypropylene or plant-based plastics, and these release microplastics when steeped in hot water.
These organic cotton tea bags give you a simple option: Pure cotton, no hidden plastic, and no bleach or coatings in contact with your drink.
GOTS is the leading global standard for organic textiles. It sets strict rules on chemicals, processing and social conditions across the whole supply chain.
4 Reusable Tea Bags (Size: 6cm x 8cm). Sized for a mug or a small teapot.
Use for:
Loose-leaf tea
Herbal blends
Spices for mulled drinks or soups
Cold brew infusions
End of life: Compost the bags when they start to wear out (100% cotton = home compostable)
Rinse straight after use, so the tea does not dry on the fabric.
Turn inside out and remove any trapped leaves.
Hand wash with mild detergent or machine wash on a gentle cycle in a
small laundry bag.
Air dry fully between uses.
Avoid fabric softener. It can affect flavour and absorbency.
End of life: once the bags are worn out or look tired, cut them up and add to your home compost or food waste bin. 100% cotton breaks down naturally over time.
Pure tea. No plastic. No waste.
Standard tea bags often use plastic-based materials or plastic blends to seal the bag. Studies show these bags release microplastics and other particles into your drink and the environment.
These reusable organic cotton tea bags help you to:
Avoid plastic in your drink.
Cut single-use waste in the kitchen.
Brew loose-leaf tea with better flavour and less dust.
You get a simple swap that fits easily into daily life.
Yes. These tea bags use GOTS certified organic cotton with no bleach, glue, plastic or coatings. They are safe for hot drinks and food use when cleaned and dried properly between uses.
Yes. Unlike most standard tea bags sold in the UK which contain polypropylene or plant-based plastics, these organic cotton tea bags are 100% plastic free with no hidden plastic, glue or coatings. They’re GOTS certified and designed specifically for UK tea drinkers who want to avoid microplastics in their brew.
With regular rinsing and drying, you can reuse each organic cotton tea bag many times. For most households, they last several months before the fabric starts to thin. Replace when stitching loosens, holes appear, or stains do not wash out.
Rinse straight after each use, squeeze out excess water and hang them to dry fully in a well-ventilated space. For deeper cleaning, wash on a gentle cycle and air dry. Do not leave them wet in a closed container. Moisture with no airflow is what leads to mould.
Yes. Once they wear out, organic cotton tea bags can go straight into your home compost bin.
No. Organic cotton has a neutral taste when washed before first use. Many people find that loose-leaf tea in cotton bags gives a cleaner flavour than paper or plastic-based bags, with less dust and no glue or plastic notes.
Yes. Once they reach the end of their life, cut them into smaller pieces and place them in your home compost bin or food waste bin. Cotton fibres break down naturally over time, unlike plastic tea bags that leave long-lasting residues.
They work with most loose-leaf teas and herbal blends. Very fine powders such as matcha are better whisked directly in the cup. For rooibos or fine dust teas, turn the bag inside out when rinsing so you clear out every particle.
