Hi Delight!
Thank you so much for your feedback and for sharing your very valid concerns with us. We're sorry if our packaging options are limited at this moment in time, and with the resources we have, we do our best to minimize waste without sacrificing quality. Our boxes and cartons are made from recycled materials and are recyclable but our sachets are not at this time. The sachets are made from aluminum and plastic composite. We have tested out several packaging options in the past, but we have found that our aluminum sachets are the only effective way to fully protect our teas from moisture, light, and oxygen while producing a smaller environmental footprint than a teabag (plastic or bleached paper) and wrapper (aluminum and plastic composite like our sachets).
With that said, we are planning to offer our teas in bulk in the near future similar to your Sun Goddess Matcha Tin. This is an issue that is at the very top of our minds. We take from the earth to produce healing products, leaving a pile of garbage behind that destroys the earth is very, very bothersome to us here at Pique. We want all our products to shift to having tin can options soon.
Thank you for bringing it up. We're very grateful to you for being a great, vocal, and concerned customer. It's our privilege to have you. :) Please reach out to teamakers@piquetea.com any time if you have any questions or concerns, we're happy to assist.
Thank you again for your feedback!
