About If You Care
The If You Care brand was created in 1990 and started with unbleached coffee filters. If You Care had the first and only unbleached coffee filters in North America at that time. Parchment Baking Paper and Baking Cups soon followed, both unbleached as well. There was no other brand in the North American market offering brown chlorine-free paper products.
If You Care has continued to come out with more products over the years.
If You Care products are produced with a view to reducing the amount of waste in our waste streams. If possible, nothing should remain after the product has been used and properly disposed of. The packaging is made from unbleached recycled cardboard or paper which should be recycled again.

What are people saying about the FSC Certified Unbleached Tea Filters – Tall?
Wonderful
While I love your large tea bags, the packages always arrive looking like they have been sat upon by an elephant.
I mostly buy loose tea, these are unique, I especially like them for use in my travel mugs which tend to be long and narrow. They allow me to steep in travel mugs and easily retrieve cos they’re long. The shape and length also means I can tie conveniently without losing room for the tea to expand.
Have happily used them a long time, but my retailer discontinued them, to my dismay. Delighted to have such a good experience with first online order.
How to use
Fill the filter with your desired amount of loose-leaf tea, then fold or twist the top to close. Place it directly in a teapot, kettle, or tall mug and add hot water.
After steeping, compost the used filter, no need to rinse or scrub an infuser.
