It is widely recognised as a hug in a mug and serves as an excellent digestif or a comforting night time ritual in 2026. Because this blend has been officially discontinued, it is the perfect choice for the individual who values rare and artisanal botanical experiences. Enjoy a clean and refreshing liquor that serves as the ultimate no calorie pudding.

🍃 The Story Behind the Teapigs
Teapigs was founded in 2006 by Nick Kilby and Louise Cheadle in West London after they noticed that most supermarket tea was dust and fannings rather than whole leaf. The company built its reputation on pyramid mesh bags filled with whole-leaf tea, real fruit pieces and whole flowers, and is now a B-Corp certified Rainforest Alliance partner.
🌍 Our Commitment To The Planet
Teapigs was the first tea brand to be certified Plastic Free, and this product reflects that ethos in 2026.
-
Biodegradable Temples: Tea bags are made from corn starch and are suitable for industrial composting.
-
Sustainable Packaging: The inner bag is made from wood pulp and is home compostable; the outer carton is FSC certified.
-
Ethical Sourcing: Sourced from Rainforest Alliance certified farms to ensure 2026 environmental standards.
