Lotte Mart Launches 4 Types of Eco-Friendly Herb Teas Made from Sustainable Materials

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Lotte Mart launched four types of eco-friendly herbal teas using biodegradable polylactide (PLA) tea bags on the 10th.

These herbal teas are products of Sweet Hug, Lotte Mart's own dessert (PB) brand. The products consist of chamomile, peppermint, rooibos, and Earl Grey black tea. Each is priced at 4,380 won. The herbal teas are produced by a Sri Lankan manufacturer certified by various countries. Each tea bag contains 2g of tea leaves, allowing consumers to enjoy a richer and deeper original tea flavor.

Polylactide (PLA) is an eco-friendly material made from plant-based corn starch that decomposes into soil-like substances underground.
