About Mountain Tea Leaves

Mountain Tea Leaves is a Colorado-based tea seller that specializes in unique tea blends. Established in 2022, Mountain Tea Leaves has spent the past year and a half as a vendor at various events and markets around the Pikes Peak region. Though I hope to open a storefront someday, for now you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, and at various events in and around Colorado Springs. You can view my events schedule here.

I am driven by a love of tea and a desire to run my business both responsibly and with integrity. My goal is to craft good tea that both experienced tea enthusiasts and novice tea drinkers can enjoy. My current tea selection features black teas and herbal teas, but I have plans to grow my product selection in the future. 

About My Teas

Mountain Tea Leaves teas are all carefully hand-blended using unique recipes. I meticulously designed every recipe I use for my tea blends, and all of my teas are crafted using high-quality ingredients from reputable suppliers. My current tea selection features my Amber Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, Black Cannella, and Spiced Sage teas, as well as a Cinnamon Rooibos Tisane. All of these tea blends are loose leaf and come in 2 oz pouches. The Amber breakfast, Irish Breakfast, Black Cannella, and Spiced Sage teas all contain fully-caffeinated black tea. Thus, they contain about half as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. The Cinnamon Rooibos, however, is a naturally caffeine-free herbal tea. It contains cinnamon and a South African herb called Rooibos. You can learn more about my teas on my Sourcing Information page and in my product descriptions.

About the Packaging

Here at Mountain Tea Leaves, I try to use practical and eco-friendly product packaging whenever possible. My teas come in water-resistant, resealable zipper pouches that keep your tea fresh. These pouches are made from craft paper and bio-based compostable laminated film. They are vegan, non-GMO, and are not made with PLA. These pouches do not contain harmful chemicals like bisphenol or pthalates. Each component is certified compostable.

My product labels are made from natural agricultural waste fibre and certified compostable acrylic adhesive. The adhesive is derived from 63% renewable resources, and is primarily sugar based.

Composting Standards and Certifications:
Zipper Pouches: ASTM D6400, EN13432

Labels: AS5810, ABAP 20001
