Tea-riffic tips for recycling your teabags

Don’t toss your used teabag in the trash. A teabag is hot stuff and can be recycled in so many ways. Get inspired and see how you can hack an old teabag!

Good news, no more smelly shoes!

It’s true, you can remove the bad odour by stuffing two dry tea bags in your shoes overnight.

Hello bea-tea-ful skin!

Here is the thing, a used teabag soothes your skin. Make a tea facial scrub out of the leaves or place two used tea bags onto your eyelids and say farewell to puffy eyes.

Rebrew a relaxing bath

Tea helps you relax. Especially chamomile and jasmine have a calming effect. Make a bath sachet out of dried used tea bags, place it in your bathtub and enjoy a great aromatic soak.

Add flavour to your meal

Old tea bags can make your meal more tas-tea! Hang a used teabag in boiling water to make a brew when you make e.g., pasta or rice. It’ll add a bursting flavour.

Green gardens are made of teas

Looking for an organic way to fertilize your garden? Bury your old tea bags near the roots of your plants. Tea leaves are rich on nutrients and help retain water. And while fruits, flowers and veggies love tea bags, weeds dislike them.

Sounds fun! We must try that. Thanks for the tea-tip.
