About the bag
About the bag
🌿Our tea bags are made from corn silk — not plastic. Most tea bags contain plastic or nylon — which means when you steep your tea, you’re also steeping microplastics. We made a different choice. Every Melanated Cup tea bag is made from corn silk — a natural, compostable material that holds full-leaf tea beautifully, biodegrades completely, and never introduces anything synthetic into your cup. Because what you taste should be exactly what we put in. Nothing more.
How to Brew
How to Brew
Water temp 200°F / 93°C
Steep time 5–7minutes
Step by step:
1. Heat your water to the temperature above — do not use boiling water for green and white teas, it will make them bitter.
2. Place one full-leaf corn silk tea bag in your cup.
3. Pour water over the bag and steep for the recommended time.
4. Remove the bag and compost it — it is fully biodegradable.
5. Drink as is, or add honey if you prefer a little sweetness.
Cold brew: Place one bag in 8oz of cold water. Refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours. Remove bag and drink over ice. Rise & Vibe and White Mango are especially good cold brewed.
She is not trying to be productive today. She is not trying to heal or optimize or accomplish anything. She is just existing, which is its own kind of radical act. No performance. No pressure. Just her, her cup, and whatever this moment holds.
Au Naturel is for exactly this. Spearmint that is lighter and sweeter than peppermint — present without demanding attention. Nettles that nourish quietly in the background. Rooibos that wraps everything in warmth. Rose that adds beauty just because beauty matters.
This is the tea for days when being is enough.
What is inside:
✦ Spearmint — lighter and sweeter than peppermint, refreshing without being sharp
✦ Nettles — deeply nourishing, rich in minerals, quietly powerful
✦ Rooibos — warm, naturally sweet, completely caffeine free
✦ Rose petals — because even the simplest moments deserve something beautiful
How to brew:
Heat water to 200°F / 93°C. Steep one full-leaf corn silk bag for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bag and compost it. No honey needed. This one is naturally sweet.
