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 Shows Up
Main character energy · Intentional mornings · Ready before the alarm

She doesn't snooze. She doesn't scroll before she's even sat up. She made a decision somewhere along the way that her morning belongs to her and she protects it like it's sacred. Because it is. 

 

Rise & Vibe is her cup. 

This is the blend you reach for when you're choosing yourself before the world gets its turn. Before the texts. Before the to-do list. Before the kids, the meetings, the notifications. Just you, this cup, and the quiet that belongs to you.

 Gunpowder green tea gives you a clean, focused energy, no jitters, no crash, no 2pm regret. Jasmine flowers soften it into something you actually want to sit with. Lemon balm keeps you grounded when the day starts pulling in seventeen directions. It tastes like a deep breath. Like purpose. Like you already decided today was going to be good.

 ✦ Gunpowder green tea — bold, smooth, naturally caffeinated energy that builds instead of spikes

 ✦ Jasmine flowers — floral and calming, takes the edge off without taking the momentum

✦ Lemon balm — the herb that knows how to keep you steady when everything else is moving fast Brew it before the chaos.

 

 Drink it in the quiet. Let it remind you who you are before anyone else needs something from you. 10 full-leaf tea bags. Steep 3-5 minutes at 175°F.
