At INDIGITEA, we believe that Earth Day isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s a way of life. For Indigenous communities, stewardship of the land is an ancestral responsibility, a sacred bond that transcends time. This Earth Day, we honor that connection by celebrating sustainable practices that protect our planet, just as our ancestors did.

Less Packaging, More Respect for the Earth

The Earth carries enough waste—why add to it? We’ve committed to minimal, compostable, and biodegradable packaging to ensure that every sip of our tea leaves no trace behind. Our special edition teas are housed in glass jars with bamboo lids and spoons, designed for reuse and longevity. When you finish your tea, the jar becomes a vessel for creativity—store spices, herbs, or even use it as a mini planter.

For our everyday blends, we’ve eliminated unnecessary paper and plastic. Instead, we opt for natural Kraft paper pouches that decompose naturally, returning to the earth without harm. 


Refill, Reuse, Reconnect: Our Zero-Waste Subscription Service

Why buy new packaging when you can refill? Our tea subscription service delivers your favorite blends in 100% compostable Kraft pouches, reducing waste with every order. Simply keep your glass jar, and we’ll send you a refill—no excess, no clutter, just pure tea. 


Wildharvested Herbs: Potent, Pure, and Soil-Protective

Unlike cultivated herbs that deplete soil nutrients, our teas are made from wildharvested herbs, hand-picked in their natural habitats. This method ensures higher potency while protecting the land from over-farming. Wildharvesting respects nature’s balance, allowing ecosystems to thrive undisturbed.
