Teabags & Packaging:
Yes, absolutely! Twigs Naturals is proud to offer teas in 100% compostable and microplastic-free teabags. We are committed to environmental responsibility, ensuring your tea experience is sustainable from start to finish.
Our innovative teabags are crafted from zein fiber, derived from corn and maize. This natural, plant-based material allows for excellent infusion while being completely compostable and free from harmful microplastics often found in traditional teabags.
You can simply add your used Twigs Naturals teabags to your home compost bin or food waste collection, as they are 100% compostable and will naturally break down, returning nutrients to the earth.
We chose compostable teabags made from zein fiber to align with our deep commitment to environmental sustainability and to address growing concerns about plastic waste. This ensures our teas are not only natural inside but also responsibly packaged, reducing our ecological footprint.
Twigs Naturals uses resealable Kraft pouches made from sustainable stock for our tea blends. These pouches are designed to keep your teas fresh while being environmentally conscious. Our other drinkware items like cups, sleeves, and lids are also compostable.
Functional Benefits & Wellness:
Functional teas are blends crafted to offer specific wellness benefits beyond basic hydration, such as promoting relaxation, boosting energy, or supporting immunity. Twigs Naturals teas fit this trend by harnessing the natural properties of Caribbean herbs for various wellness supports.
Amber Tea:
Twigs Naturals’ Amber Tea is a unique blend of lemongrass and ginger. Traditionally, lemongrass is valued for its calming properties, often used to aid digestion and promote relaxation. Ginger is widely recognized for its warming effects, helping to soothe digestive discomfort and support overall well-being. This blend offers a comforting and aromatic experience.
Bamboo Tea:
Twigs Naturals’ Bamboo Leaf Tea is celebrated for its rich content of natural silica, a mineral crucial for wellness. Traditionally, bamboo tea has been valued for supporting healthy hair, skin, and nails, as well as contributing to bone health and collagen production. It’s also often consumed for its potential to aid digestion, boost immunity due to antioxidants, and provide a gentle, calming effect.
Soursop Tea:
Traditionally known for its calming properties and rich antioxidant content, often enjoyed for relaxation.

For relaxation and winding down, our Soursop Tea is a popular choice, traditionally consumed for its soothing qualities. We recommend exploring its gentle, calming effects.
Many traditional Caribbean herbs are valued for their natural properties. While we do not make medical claims, our Amber Tea, a Ginger & Lemongrass blend, for example, is a wonderfully invigorating and warming infusion often enjoyed for its comforting qualities.
While our teas are natural, we always recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before introducing any new herbal products to children, pregnant, or breastfeeding women, or individuals with pre-existing health conditions.
Brewing & Experience:
For the best experience, bring fresh, filtered water to a boil. Pour over one Twigs Naturals teabag. Steep for 5-7 minutes, or longer for a stronger infusion, then remove the teabag/strain. Enjoy hot or iced!
Absolutely! Many of our blends, like Soursop or Ginger & Lemongrass, are exceptionally refreshing when brewed strong and then poured over ice. They make a perfect natural, cool beverage for any time.
We recommend steeping Twigs Naturals herbal teas for 5-7 minutes to unlock their full flavor and beneficial properties. You can adjust the steeping time to your personal preference for a lighter or stronger cup.
Our teas pair beautifully with a variety of foods! For instance, a light, refreshing tea like Soursop complements tropical fruits, while more robust blends might pair well with light pastries or savory snacks. Experiment to discover your favorites!
