These excellent features ensure that our tissue paper has been sourced responsibly and safeguards against nasty chemicals being emitted during manufacture or left behind after biodegrading.  

Shipping Carrier

All of our post is sent through Royal Mail which is proud to be the UK's lowest average parcel carbon footprint!Our post is also collected alongside a number of other small businesses at Woodings Yard, saving on our carbon footprint by ensuring only one trip is made, instead of several individuals having to make separate trips to the post office.

Small Batch Ceramics

All of our Teppi ceramics are lovingly handmade by us in small batches. Our kiln runs off 100% green energy, which we do our best to preserve, by keeping kiln firings to a minimum, ensuring no kiln is ever fired half full!
