Straight loose leaf tea is a completely plant-based product, and most herbal and flavored teas are naturally vegan friendly as well. Veganism is an abstention from consuming meat, animal products, and animal by-products. We at Capital Teas respect specific dietary needs and moral lifestyle decisions.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost all Capital Teas options are completely vegan. We hold our teas to a high standard, and source organic and natural ingredients for all of our teas and blends. None of our teas contain any colors, dyes, or artificial flavors. However, some flavored teas do contain flavors derived from animal products, like honey, milk, dairy derivatives, and flavors. At Capital Teas, we carry three flavored blends that contain ingredients that aren't suitable for a vegan diet. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTeas that are not vegan-friendly in our catalog:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul style=\"letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic Coconut Kiss (contains banana chips that are coated with organic honey)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic Chocolate Pu-erh (contains milk in the chocolate chips)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe rest of our selection is suitable for a vegan diet!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen browsing for teas online, some ingredients that need to be avoided are obvious, like dairy and eggs.
