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 finally stopped ignoring the signals. The bloating, the sluggishness, the feeling that something inside needs attention. She is not sick. She is just overdue for some tenderness. And she is finally giving it to herself.
TLC is for her. Roasted chicory root that supports digestion and gives you a rich, coffee-adjacent warmth without the caffeine. Dandelion root that works quietly in the background, supporting the liver and helping the body do what it already knows how to do.
This tea does not taste like medicine. It tastes like care. Drink it when your body is asking you to slow down and actually listen.
What is inside:
✦ Roasted chicory root — rich and earthy, supports digestion, naturally caffeine free
✦ Dandelion root — gentle liver support, helps the body process and release
How to brew:
