Meet Happy Earth Tea – a family-run tea company with deep roots in Darjeeling, India, and a passionate mission based in Rochester, NY. Established in 2011 by Niraj Lama and Mary Boland, Happy Earth Tea has always been about more than just great tea. With over 60 organic teas and herbal blends sourced directly from certified organic tea gardens around the world, they’re committed to quality, transparency, and now—sustainability.
The Green Switch 🌏
Recently, Happy Earth Tea took a major step in their eco-conscious journey by switching their regular-sized tea packaging to our commercially compostable stand-up pouches.
Why the switch? For Niraj and Mary, sustainability is personal. Their love for nature and the environment runs as deep as their love for tea. By transitioning to compostable packaging, they're taking actionable steps to reduce their environmental footprint and lead by example in the specialty food and beverage space.
Local Impact
If you're lucky enough to live in Rochester, NY, you’ve likely heard of @impactearth_roc—a trailblazing organization leading the way in local composting and sustainable solutions. Happy Earth Tea encourages customers to utilize services like these to ensure their compostable packaging ends up where it belongs—not in a landfill, but back in the earth.
A Friendly Reminder ♻️
While the pouches themselves are compostable, make sure to remove the product labels before composting. Not all label adhesives are compostable yet—but we’re getting closer!
Sustainability is a journey, and we’re proud to walk it with like-minded brands like Happy Earth Tea. 💚
If you’re looking to reduce your packaging footprint, reach out to us. We’d love to help your brand go greener, too.
