Keep Doing Simple Thing is Something
The secrets in the simple packaging
Under the simple packaging of Magnet’s products hides some secrets. It is printed with Eco-friendly soy ink. It is not laminated so it can be recycled directly. Simplicity comes from the love for Earth.
Contribution to our environment
In 2018, as the technology of biodegradable PLA-made tea bags matured, Magnet made an important decision. Despite the relatively high cost, we switch to the PLA tea bag made with cornstarch instead of the heat-resistant, food-grade nylon tea bag.
PLA can be made from starch or cellulose. Renewable plant resources, such as corn, potatoes, coconut husk, rice straw, and so on, can be used to make PLA. Since it is made from natural materials, it can be decomposed by bacteria and microbes.
All of our tea bags are made with paper/ PLA.
We are happy to afford higher costs to provide more natural and eco-friendly products. In the time of rising prices, Magnet is committed to offer environmentally friendly products with reasonable prices, even if it means nearly 1 million increase in cost.

A journey to the revival of imperfect raw materials
In 2022, Magnet turned its attention to the 10% raw materials with imperfect appearance left after the production of whole leaf herb tea.
Our manufacturing manager, Hong-Chen led the team onto the journey to the revival of raw materials with imperfect appearance.
They found Tseng, Jian-Liang, a noodle maker in Gueiren, Tainan, and asked him if he could use the imperfect burdock to make burdock noodles.
We hope to find ways to revive other imperfect raw materials and to build a circular economy of zero waste. Magnet is committed to preserve the resources and coexist with the environment.
