ORGANIC UNIVERSE

What If a Cup of Tea Could Help the Planet Heal?

For most of us, tea is a ritual — a moment of pause. But at Organic Universe, every cup is also a quiet protest against pollution, plastic, and planetary neglect.

From the start, we knew building a truly organic brand wasn’t just about ingredients. It was about intention. Every decision — from the farm to your mug — had to serve not just your health, but the Earth’s.

Here’s how we’re making your tea better for the planet, one blend at a time.





















1. Zero Plastic. Zero Compromise.

Most commercial tea bags contain plastic microfibers that break down into your brew — and into the soil. At Organic Universe, we said no.

We use:

100% biodegradable pyramid tea bags

Made from corn-fiber mesh

Heat-sealed without glue or toxic adhesives

They steep beautifully, release full flavor, and decompose naturally. No toxins. No plastic guilt.

2. Compostable Inner Sachets & Recyclable Outer Boxes

Packaging is one of the biggest culprits in consumer waste — especially in food and beverage.

That’s why we’ve made a conscious switch to:

Compostable inner sachets (for every single pyramid bag)

FSC-certified recyclable boxes printed with soy-based inks

Zero lamination, meaning zero microplastic film coating

Even our glue and labels are biodegradable. That’s the level of detail we hold ourselves to — because true sustainability lives in the details.

3. Ingredients That Support Soil Health — Not Deplete It

Every leaf and flower we use comes from certified organic farms that follow crop rotation, composting, and natural pest management. This protects soil biodiversity, conserves water, and avoids chemical leaching into local ecosystems.

In fact, our growers are part of a regenerative agriculture network that’s helping Indian farmland recover from years of overuse.

Better tea. Better Earth. It’s one cycle.

4. Small Batch Sourcing with Big Values

We don’t chase quantity. We focus on quality with traceability.

Our tea is:

Blended in small batches at our Amritsar unit

Sourced directly from partner farms, not commodity markets

Stored in airtight, low-impact warehouses

Shipped in recycled cardboard sleeves and kraft mailers

This slower, more intentional process reduces energy waste, cold storage usage, and carbon-intensive logistics.

5. Built to Be Refilled, Reused, or Recycled

Every part of our product lifecycle is designed for circularity.

Our upcoming tea refill pouches (coming soon) will:

Be fully compostable

Let customers restock without buying new tins or boxes

Cut down packaging waste by over 70%

We’re not just selling tea — we’re building habits that last beyond the sip.

Why It Matters — Especially in India

India is both a massive tea-drinking nation and one of the largest contributors to global plastic waste. If we can shift even a small part of this daily ritual toward sustainability, the ripple effects are powerful.

And it’s working.

Our packaging waste is already 94% plastic-free — and we aim to hit 100% by the end of 2025.

Small Sip. Big Impact.

We’re not perfect. But we’re committed.

To tea that heals people and the planet. To small farmers. To slow, intentional growth. And to customers who care about what they consume.

So the next time you steep an Organic Universe blend, know that your calm moment is creating calm somewhere else, too — in the soil, in the air, in the future we’re quietly crafting.

Because healing doesn’t stop at your cup.
