Refillery 101

Your guide to simple, sustainable shopping.

At The Tea Refillery, we believe reducing waste doesn’t have to be complicated. Our refillery model is all about helping you enjoy the products you love—without the single-use packaging. Whether you’re new to refilling or already a pro, this quick guide will help you get the most out of your refill experience.

How It Works

1. Choose Your Products

Shop from our selection of loose-leaf teas, curated bundles, and eco-friendly accessories.

2. Choose Your Packaging

You can select your tea in a home compostable pouch, bring-your-own container (if local), or one of our beautiful reusable jars.

3. Refill + Reuse

When you're ready for more, simply refill your container with your next order. It’s better for the planet, and better for your wallet too.

Why It Matters

Every refill helps cut down on single-use packaging, reduces carbon emissions, and supports a circular economy that values reuse over waste. It’s a small action that creates real change—one cup at a time. By choosing to refill, you're not just saving packaging; you’re joining a growing movement of conscious consumers who care deeply about people and the planet.

Tips for Getting Started

If you’re just starting out, we suggest beginning with one product you use often, like your daily tea. Store your loose-leaf blends in airtight, light-proof jars to keep them fresh and flavorful. Don’t forget to label your jars with the tea name and steeping instructions so everything stays easy and organized. And if you’re proud of your refill setup, snap a photo and tag us—we love seeing how our community refills with style.
