Ingredients and packaging explained
“Plant-based” can describe the herbs inside an infusion, but it does not automatically tell you what the sachet, seal or packaging is made from.
Your guide
Herbal infusions use plant materials such as ginger root, mint leaves, hibiscus and lemongrass. They are different from conventional black or green tea made with Camellia sinensis. RastaRoots builds five blends around botanical flavours and Caribbean-inspired heritage.
Not necessarily. A tea bag can contain plant-derived fibres yet use other materials in its seal, mesh or coating. “Biodegradable”, “compostable” and “plastic-free” are different claims that need evidence about the finished packaging.
The five RastaRoots blends are botanical herbal infusions, and the Founder Discovery Collection contains 25 sachets. This page does not claim the sachet material is plastic-free, home-compostable, biodegradable or certified plant-based; packaging specifications must be confirmed separately.
Check the product packaging and ask the seller about the filter paper or mesh, sealants, outer wrappers and any independent certification. If compostability matters, check whether it requires industrial facilities or is suitable for home composting.

Botanical traditions and emerging research are not proof that a RastaRoots tea prevents or treats disease. Herbs can interact with medicines. Check the product label and seek professional advice when appropriate.
The five listed herbal blends use botanical ingredients such as roots, flowers and leaves. Always consult the latest product label.
