We love filtered coffee and drink copious amounts of the stuff in the office along with several cups of tea a day - fairtrade of course. I have been digging around the internet to see what i can do with leftover coffee grains and tea bags.
First, if you're a tea lover it's better to buy loose-leaf tea or tea bags without strings. Used tea bags can be recycled as compost as can coffee grains. We use a kitchen crock to collect ours !
(Place this decorative ceramic composting crock by the kitchen sink, after it's full, dump the contents in your garden or compost pile to feed nutrients to hungry plants. Keeps kitchen scraps where they won't leak or create a mess. Its activated carbon filter allows air to circulate to prevent rotting. Easy to clean, dishwasher safe. Holds 1 gallon and measures 17.7cms wide x 26.6cms high (7" x 10 1/2"). )
These can be put straight on to the garden or into plant potsTea is also good for the skin. Before you recycle it, you can put a tea bag on your face. It can make your skin fresh and even smooth.
