Sustainability at Morelitea
Our mission is to help people connect with themselves and the forests we hope to keep around for future generations. That's why we prioritize minimal processing and eco-friendly materials like cardboard and paper, ensuring our packaging is fully compostable to reduce our carbon footprint. Unlike Mylar bags, which contribute significantly to waste, our choices reflect our dedication to the environment.
Going Beyond: Our Sustainable Practices
-
Local Partnerships
We proudly support local suppliers to reduce shipping distances and fuel consumption, fostering a stronger community bond.

Artisan Craftsmanship
Every vendor show sign is lovingly handmade using wood and painted with non-toxic, water-based acrylics. This ensures durability and easy reuse, minimizing environmental impact.

Thoughtful Packaging
While glass packaging might seem ideal due to it's reusability, we focus on recyclable materials that lighten our ecological footprint and are still easy to reuse, recycle, or compost.

Join the Morel Family in Embracing Sustainability
Together, we can make a difference one cup of tea and one thoughtful gesture at a time. Let's cherish our planet and enjoy the cozy comforts of home brewed with care.
Our family, descendants of the South Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, firmly believes it is our individual responsibility to care for the earth beneath us as those before us did. We are visitors on the unceded ancestral land of the Duwamish and Coast Salish people, and while we live here we are committed to restoring the native landscape - starting with our own backyard.
