Green and Black tea leaves come from the same Camillia sinensis plant but are processed differently so each offers different benefits. Green tea has higher levels of EGCG and black tea has more theaflavins, where both have been studied for their health benefits. For more, see Bigelow Tea's guide to the difference between green and black tea.

All Bigelow tea bags are biodegradable, compostable, and contain no plastic. We use an environmentally friendly process of oxygen and peroxide to clean the teabag fibers. We do not use elemental chlorine. This process is important to ensure our teabags are clean, neutral, and free of residues such as elemental chlorine and dioxin.
