Raiding local trees and throwing their leaves in boiling water cuts down on aphid infestations, but it won’t make a good cup of tea. Enjoy leaf water made from ingestion-appropriate plants with this Groupon.

The Deal

• $22 for five whole-leaf tea kits (a $44.50 value), which each include 60 grams of tea and 30 biodegradable tea filters
• See the available kits, which include teas such as Creme Caramel Rooibos tea and Earl Grey Blue Star tea.<p>

The tea kits make drinking loose-leaf tea, which offers a superior taste and more health benefits than tea bags, easier than ever before. All you have to do is put a teaspoon of tea in the tea filter, put the filter into a mug, add boiling water, and steep. This process releases the tea’s full flavor and anti-oxidants. When you’re done, you just throw the tea filter into the compost. Even the packaging used in the tea kit itself is biodegradable.<p>
