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.
The fog is real. She sat down to work twenty minutes ago and has been staring at the same paragraph ever since. Her brain is technically on but the signal is weak. She needs clarity without caffeine jitters. She needs her mind to cooperate.
EnlightenMINT was built for this exact moment. Rosemary that has been used for centuries to support memory and mental clarity. Peppermint that opens everything up — the airways, the focus, the ability to actually finish a thought. Together they cut through the fog fast.
This is your midday reset. Your before-the-meeting cup. Your I-need-my-brain-back tea.
What is inside:
✦ Rosemary — centuries of use for memory and mental clarity, earthy and grounding
✦ Peppermint — opens the airways, sharpens focus, clears the fog immediately
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. Breathe in the steam before you take your first sip. That is part of it.
