When it comes to making a great cup of tea a compostable tea filter is just as important as the brewing method. Whether using a tea infuser or fresh tea leaves – with If You Care Tea Filters you value both the tea preparation and the environment. They are perfect for brewing loose teas. If You Care tea filters will not affect the taste of your tea, they are designed to give tea lovers maximum pleasure while having the least possible environmental impact. IFC tea filters are made from unbleached totally chlorine-free (TCF) paper. The paper comes from responsible and sustainable FSC® forestry. Like all If You Care paper products, the sustainable Tea Filters are totally chlorine-free, so no chlorine or chlorine derivatives are dumped into our lakes, rivers and streams.
Available in SHORT (ideal for single cups) and TALL (ideal for kettles and tall mugs).
