The ritual
A better cup in three steps.
Great tea is forgiving. Get these three things roughly right and every blend in the shop will shine.
-
Measure generously
About one heaping teaspoon of loose leaf (or one tea bag) per 8 oz cup. Our infuser and scoop make this effortless.
-
Mind the temperature
Black, herbal and rooibos love a full boil. Green, white and oolong prefer water that has cooled for a minute or two.
-
Steep, then stop
Three to five minutes for most blends. Taste at three, decide by five, and pull the leaves before they turn bitter.
Seasonal
Iced tea, made easy
Cold brew any of our iced-tea favorites overnight in the fridge for a smooth, refreshing glass — or start with a sampler of ten iced tea flavors.
Flavor you can read
Every blend lists its tasting notes, mood and caffeine level, so you know what you are getting before you buy.
Try before you commit
Most blends come in a $4.99 sample size, plus curated samplers for the undecided.
Day and night options
Caffeinated, low-caffeine, decaf and fully herbal — clearly labeled on every card.
