We changed to Fairtrade tea a few years ago, buying both Teadirect and Clipper. I only recently realized that Clipper teabags are biodegradable while Teadirect's are not - they hang around perfectly identifiably after a year in the compost bin. I suppose after a longer time and more disturbance they would physically disintegrate, but that would just mean small pieces of nylon in the soil rather than large ones.
So, anyhow, we have become obligate Clipper teabag buyers. Happily both Somerfield and the Co-op on Camberwell New Road sell them.
