Climatarians Changing the Food Industry + Tea Drops Tea Bombs

Will a new climate-centered diet have the potential to change the food industry for the better? In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney discusses the climatarian diet, a growing trend in which individuals consume foods that are least harmful for the environment. The team has a thoughtful discussion about the environmental impact of importing out-of-season produce and how food and beverage brands can reduce their carbon footprints.

Also in this episode, Mira introduces the team to Tea Drops, a California-based startup that introduced bagless and dissolvable tea blends. The “bath bombs for tea” eliminate the need for traditional tea bags and reduce waste. The team weighs in on the women-led business and its potential to revolutionize the tea industry, one that has remained relatively unchanged for decades.
