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.

There’s no wrong order.
