What our herbal tea bags are made of
Our herbal tea bags are plant-based and fully biodegradable. The Original Moringa Tea box describes its bag material as:
- virgin pulp from hemp, softwood and hardwood fibers;
- oxygen bleached and chemical-free;
- no epichlorohydrin;
- no plastics.
The Original Moringa Tea bag holds about 1,400-1,500 mg of organic moringa leaf.
What the claim covers
This page is about our herbal tea bags. We describe our bags as biodegradable and not as compostable, because we do not have a compost certification to point to. And the claim is about the tea bag itself: we are not making a plastic-free claim for the carton, the tag or the packaging around it.
A claim like this is easy to stretch, so we would rather tell you the edges. If a detail you care about is not on this page, ask us through our contact page and we will tell you what we know.
Questions worth asking any tea maker
When you compare tea bags, ask what the bag is made of, whether the claim covers the whole product or only the bag, and whether anyone certifies it. We answer the first two above. On the third, our organic claims are certified by Control Union, and our bag claim is a description of materials, not a separate certification.
What else is in the cup
A plastic-free bag matters most if the leaf inside is also something you would choose. Ours is:
- Organic, certified twice. USDA Organic and EU Organic, with annual independent audits by Control Union. Organic methods mean no synthetic pesticides and no chemical fertilizers.
- Single-origin Sri Lanka. Grown near rainforest regions on family-owned farms and bought directly from independent farmers.
- Solar-dried and hand-processed. Dried by the sun, not by fossil fuels, and handled by skilled artisans rather than industrial systems.
- Vegan, non-GMO and naturally gluten-free.
- Caffeine-free in 18 of 20 herbal flavors. Green Tea is decaffeinated (under 1 mg) and Earl Grey is low caffeine (5-10 mg).

Plastic-free tea bag questions
Are tea bags made of plastic?
It depends on the brand. Bag materials vary, so the surest way to know is to read the maker's own description of the bag. Ours are made from plant-based fibers and contain no plastics, and we tell you exactly what they are made of on this page.
What are Miracle Tree herbal tea bags made of?
Our herbal tea bags are plant-based and fully biodegradable. The Original Moringa Tea box describes the bag material as virgin pulp from hemp, softwood and hardwood fibers, oxygen bleached and chemical-free, with no epichlorohydrin and no plastics.
Can I put the tea bag in the compost?
We describe our herbal tea bags as biodegradable, not as certified compostable, because we have no compost certification to point to. If you compost at home or through your city, check the rules that apply to you.
Does the plastic-free claim cover the box and the tag?
The claim is about the herbal tea bag itself. We do not make a plastic-free claim for the carton, the tag or the other packaging, and we would rather say that than imply it.
Why does organic matter for tea?
Organic farming uses no synthetic pesticides and no chemical fertilizers, and every Miracle Tree tea is USDA Organic and EU Organic, with annual independent audits by Control Union. If you are choosing a tea bag with care, the leaf inside is the other half of the choice. Our article on why USDA Organic matters for your tea goes into more detail.
How do I brew Miracle Tree tea bags?
Pour hot water over one bag and steep for 4-5 minutes, then remove the bag. One bag makes one cup, and you can sip it hot or let it cool and pour it over ice.
