FAQ’s
Collagen is a major structural component of our bodies, joints, muscles and skin! It's the 'glue' that holds us together and the most abundant protein in our body!
What’s noticeable in the fight against ageing is that our skin is effected by various factors including natural ageing, UV Rays, smoking, pollutants, hormones, genetics, sugar intake and diet/nutrition and other environmental forces. However, we start to lose about 1% to 2% per year, of our naturally produced collagen from our mid 20s, and even more if you consider smoking, intake of sugars, pollution and UV rays….. so by our 50’s we’ve lost over half the amount of collagen in our bodies – which is what we call ‘ageing’ and is most noticeable in the quality of our skin, hair and joints – which therefore results in wrinkles, loose or sagging, dull or dry skin, finer, greying, thinning hair, as well as weaker joints. If you start to take collagen, it’ll help to support and increase the body’s collagen levels as well as promote the production of this super protein to replenish it. Actually, our bodies produce collagen naturally which is in abundance when we’re young, but unfortunately collagen production starts to decline at about age 25, and continues to decline, especially in women in their 40s and 50s, and after menopause.
When you start to consume natural hydrolyzed collagen peptides, you should see noticeably firmer and smoother skin with fewer wrinkles and fine lines, an improved skin surface structure, reduced cellulite, improved hair health and thicker hair, faster nail growth, plus even improved joints, tendons and bone health as well. As collagen is recognised by the fibroblast cells in the dermal layer of our skin, it results in an increased production of dermal collagen replacing what is lost through ageing and environmental influences. As the most abundant protein in our bodies, it’s the ‘glue’ of all our connective tissues and holds our bodies ‘together’, and is the second most abundant substance in our body behind water and is the building block of all our tissues. Collagen makes up 75% of our skin, over 90% of our ligaments and tendons and 35% of our bones – so, yup, it’s pretty important!
Collagen is made from animal products, and we use premium, concentrated, grass-fed, pasture raised bovine hydrolyzed collagen peptides in all of our teas, sourced from a superior, world-class manufacturer to offer you the best results.
But why you’re here and reading this info on our website, is to learn how collagen is responsible for many structures of our body’s make up like our skin, hair, nails, joints. bones and cartilage and how it'll benefit YOU!

Don’t worry – the hydrolyzed collagen peptides powder you can see in your loose leaf and in your teabags is completely normal, and there is some excess that will fall out! It’s not that you’ll be losing that amount, because we’ve ensured that we have overfilled each blend in our tea mixer machines so that you gain the maximum amount possible in each serve. Don’t be alarmed, the collagen is definitely there in every serving but that’s why we ask you to shake your loose leaf pouch first to disperse the collagen, and why your teabags are in their plastic inner bag… We use pyramid shaped soilon material teabags which allows the large, hand picked tea leaves and herbs to swirl around much better inside the bag when your pour your hot water in - and they also show what’s inside the teabag better. You may have noticed most cheaper teabags are opaque and with good reason, as many cheaper brands contain a low quality grit of tea-leaves – but not Fusspot Collagen Beauty Teas – our tea is high quality tea – hence the use of pyramid soilon teabags which are transparent and the tea leaves are showcased proudly. We use Soilon teabag material/bags as they are compostable and biodegradable ( so we do not use plastic teabag material – ie:
no nano-plastics for you!), and we also chose to use soilon because it’s better for the environment. The mesh material of soilon is a larger loop/mesh - which means our hydrolyzed collagen peptide powder (which is extremely fine) and is mixed with our tea blends, can 'spill' once the teabags are filled – therefore
we overstuff every teabag in the teabagging machine, to allow for the collagen to ‘spill’ through the soilon mesh. This is very normal, and you can consume this too from the bottom of the polybag inside
the box. Our soilon teabags, are
overstuffed to allow for a small % to fall/spill, FYI - Tea leaves are a humectant, and therefore the blending of our Verisol Collagen and the tea-leaves in the tea mixer machines means that at the time of stuffing the teabags in the bagging machine that the
collagen adheres to the tealeaves but as the tea leaves naturally dry further
the collagen can 'spill' – this is very normal – so a little of the collagen which is very fine may escape each teabag. We also think soilon teabags are better for the collagen to easily absorb once you pour your hot or cold water over the teabag.
We are all becoming far more environmentally conscious and purchasing more and more eco-friendly and green products, so you’ll be happy to know that our pyramid teabags are made from Soilon which is a lactic acid derived from corn-starch, and which is completely biodegradable, compostable, and sustainable without compromising the quality of the tea inside the bag and can withstand the addition of hot water. These bags will completely break down, without contributing to the plastic pollution in the form of microplastics! Furthermore, both the non-bleached string and the tag of the tea bag are made of the same material. The whole teabag is biodegradable – that’s why we are only able to print on one side of our tea-tags because we chose this specific material…. And we love that!
Each blend has been formulated with various teas, tisanes, plants and herbs to support your complexion, skin, hair, body health and wellness, to assist in giving your skin and body a boost, to promote a healthy glow, to help cleanse your body and to support collagen levels, all from the inside! If you look on each of our product pages, the list of ingredients of each blend is shown, and the benefits of each tea, tisane, plant and herb is outlined. You can also see a topline highlight feature outlining why each specific tea blend has been created and what it’ll support.
We advise our customers that since every body is different, and taking into consideration your skin-type, your age, the amount of sun damage, and other pollutants you've been exposed to such as environment, smoking, sugar-intake and daily UV exposure, we see varying timelines for results. As a guide, after about 6 to 8 weeks you may start to see results with increased nail growth first, then thicker hair, and lastly with your skin such as smoother skin, less lumps and bumps, and plumper skin, as our dermal layers have a 28 day cycle, so skin results tend to take longer. Some of our customers see results much faster than this, others may take slightly longer. It must also be noted that this is only on the regular consumption of our Fusspot Teas, with a minimum of 2 cups daily, as collagen takes time to build up in your system, and doesn't just work overnight, or with one cup here and there.
Each tea blend outlines whether it has natural caffeine in it or not, so it’s up to you whether your body reacts well to having caffeine at night or not. The Evening Teas have been created to assist you to relax, calm down and rest, but you can drink them any time of the day, they won’t ‘knock you out’! If you’re ok drinking caffeine ( ie: green or black tea) in the afternoons or evenings, enjoy the full range!!! You’re drinking the benefits!
Fusspot Beauty Teas are most effective within the first six months of purchase or when they’ve been opened…. But if you want to keep it longer, you can store it in an air-tight ziplock bag placed in a cool and dry place. Most of our Beauty Teas have a shelf life of 2 years, but check the label of your package.
Yes, all our tea are gluten free.
