Silk Teabags

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know for a perfect cup, in one place.

Are the AVANTCHA teabags biodegradable?

Since its foundation, AVANTCHA has prioritised biodegradable packaging and continues to invest in sustainable materials that preserve the quality, freshness, and flavour of each tea.

What is the difference between silk teabags and classic paper teabags in terms of taste and aroma?

Silk teabags (fine mesh bags) allow better expansion of the tea leaves and fuller aroma release compared to classic paper teabags, offering more space for the leaves to unfurl naturally. AVANTCHA’s high-quality teabags are made from biodegradable, non-GMO sugarcane mesh, ensuring excellent water flow and a pure, flavour-rich brew. They are plastic-, glue-, and staple-free, using only natural cotton threads and uncoated paper tags for a completely eco-friendly and clean steeping experience. The result is a refined, sustainable cup of tea that’s kind to both you and the planet.

How many grams of loose leaf or herbs are in a silk teabag?

Each AVANTCHA silk teabag contains a perfectly measured single serving of loose leaf tea or herbs, designed to brew one full-flavoured cup with balanced taste and aroma.

Can silk teabags be reused?

In many cases, high-quality silk teabags can be used for a second infusion.
