Our commitment to quality and sustainability sets Arroyo Kitchen's tea apart as a premium product. We partner with local Taiwanese farmers prioritizing sustainable farming practices and maintaining strict quality control measures. Our tea is sourced from the natural beauty of Taiwan's lush mountain climate and harvested only 1-2 times a year per season. Unlike mainstream tea bags that are filled with “dust” or “fannings,” our premium tea bags are filled with high-quality whole tea leaves ensuring a rich flavor.

Our whole tea leaves are designed to be used multiple times, and the number of uses depends on the brewing method. For hot brewing, our individual teabags can be steeped up to 3 times. For cold brewing, we recommend using our individual teabag only once, as the longer steeping time extracts more of the flavors from the leaves. Our whole-leaf teabags ensure quality flavor every time, without tasting watered down.

Our tea bags are made with PLA bioplastic derived from corn fiber. These innovative teabags are designed to biodegrade naturally after one year, minimizing their ecological footprint by leaving nothing behind. Our PLA tea bags can also withstand high temperatures due to their high melting point.

Our Arroyo Kitchen teabags packaging is made from fully recyclable paper materials. The individual pyramid teabags are made from PLA corn fiber that is biodegradable after one year. We're committed to reducing our environmental footprint and promoting sustainability in our operations.
