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

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.

Mood identity
She Who Is Building
In her bag · Tabs open · Not available

She is locked in. The tabs are open, the playlist is on, and she is not coming up for air until the work is done. She does not need hype. She needs focus. She needs something in her cup that keeps up with her without making her crash at 2pm.

Go Getter was built for her. Bold Earl Grey with a citrus edge from the lemon peel, sharpened by crystalized ginger that keeps things interesting. This is a working tea. A building tea. A get-it-done tea.

Pour it before you open the laptop. Let the ritual be the signal that it is time.

What is inside:
✦ Earl Grey — bold black tea with the bergamot flavor that makes it unmistakable
✦ Lemon peel — bright citrus that cuts through the heaviness and wakes up your focus
✦ Crystalized ginger — warm, sharp, keeps the energy from flattening out

How to brew:
Heat water to 205°F / 96°C. Steep one full-leaf corn silk bag for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the bag and compost it. Drink it strong. Add oat milk if you want something closer to a latte.
