Yes Tor

The mighty Yes Tor used to be flagged as the highest peak on Dartmoor until it was rather rudely demoted to second place, for the sake of a few meters. It sits on the Okehampton side of Dartmoor and rises spectacularly to a height of over 2000ft. Such a splendid vantage has given it a firm place in the history of ancient civilisations and the modern British military. The roads are well trodden but the hike is still steep. Set off early on a clear day to take advantage of the vast, inspiring views.

This tea is available in loose form or in our beautiful bio pyramids. Our biodegradable tea pyramids are suitable for composting and are completely free of microplastics. Made from a material called SOILON which contains lactic acid derived from corn starch, they are completely biodegradable and decompose within 30 days.

The dangers posed by microplastics on the environment are well documented. What people are less aware of are the staggering amounts of microplastics present in most tea bags. When steeped in hot water, they release billions of microplastic particles into the mug, each one the size of a grain of pollen.

When purchased in loose form, this tea is sealed within a biodegradable cornstarch pouch. So when buying our teas, whether in loose or pyramid form, you can do so safe in the knowledge that our tea bags and packaging materials are completely biodegradeable and free of microplastics.
