In an 11-year study of half a million adults, people who drank two or more cups of black tea a day had a 9 to 13% lower risk of death from any cause.* This bundle makes the daily cup the easiest habit in your kitchen: 45 cups, seven blends, one checkout.

*Observational study, Annals of Internal Medicine, 2022, reported by Harvard Health. It shows an association in black tea drinkers generally, not an effect of this product. Full context below.

Three caffeinated blends carry your mornings, starting with a proper whole-leaf English Breakfast. Four caffeine-free blends own your evenings, so the after-dinner cup is never off the table.

  • A real daily black tea: whole-leaf Keemun, Assam and Ceylon English Breakfast
  • 45 pyramid sachets: 3 caffeinated morning blends, 4 caffeine-free for nights
  • Whole leaf and real herbs, blended fresh in small batches in Golden, Colorado. You can see the leaves
  • No added sugar, nothing artificial, vegan, gluten-free, biodegradable sachets
  • Under a dollar a cup, ships free, arrives ribboned and gift-ready

Love it, or we make it right

Every order is covered by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Steep it, live with it, and if the tea isn’t for you, get in touch and we’ll sort it out.

What exactly arrives?

Two boxes. The Bestsellers Bento holds six mini tea tubes (English Breakfast, Garden Sunrise, Jasmine Green, Nighttime Routine, Spa Bliss and Peppermint) at five pyramid sachets each, so 30 sachets in a ribboned, gift-ready box. Alongside it, the Calming Tea Pouch with 15 sachets of caffeine-free peppermint, licorice root and sage.

How does the 20% come off?

Automatically. Tap the button and both products go straight to checkout with the pairing discount already applied: $55 becomes $44. There is no code to remember and nothing to type.

Why do people drink black tea daily?

A 2022 study in the Annals of Internal Medicine followed about 500,000 UK adults for over a decade and found that people drinking two or more cups of black tea a day had a 9 to 13% lower risk of death from any cause. It is observational research on black tea generally, so it cannot prove cause and effect, and it says nothing about our products specifically. The full context is further down this page.

Which ones have caffeine?

Three of the seven: English Breakfast, Garden Sunrise and Jasmine Green. The other four, Nighttime Routine, Spa Bliss, Peppermint and the Calming Tea, are all caffeine-free, so a cup at nine at night is no trouble.

How do I steep them?

One sachet in eight ounces of water just off the boil, about 212°F, for five minutes. No infuser, no strainer, nothing to wash up.

When will it get here?

Orders leave our Golden, Colorado facility within two to three business days, and this bundle ships free because it clears the $40 threshold on its own.

What if I don’t like it?

Every order is backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If something isn’t right, contact us and we will make it right.

Why daily habits die

Most “healthy habits” fail because they’re miserable. This one is just good tea.

You know the routine. The green powder that tastes like a mowed lawn. The vinegar shot that burns on the way down. The supplement bottles gathering dust in the cabinet. They all fail for the same reason: nobody keeps a habit they dread.

Tea has the opposite problem. People actually like it, then buy a box of forty bags of one single blend, drink four, and get bored. And most of what is in the cupboard is caffeinated, which rules out the exact hour a warm cup sounds best: after dinner, when the day finally slows down.

So this pairing is built the other way round. Seven blends instead of one, in five-sachet tubes you finish while you are still enjoying them. Four of the seven are caffeine-free, so the evening cup is part of the plan instead of off-limits. A habit that survives because every cup tastes like a reward, not a chore.

The research

The numbers that made the daily cup famous.

Not a survey we ran. A peer-reviewed study in one of the most respected medical journals in the world, reported by Harvard Health.

Two Tea with Tae bento boxes stacked and tied with cream ribbon
500,000UK adults followed
11+ yrsof follow-up
2+ cupsof black tea a day
9–13%lower risk of death from any cause*

Tea is the second most-drunk beverage on earth, and it has been studied about as long as it has been drunk. The findings are striking. They are also more careful than the internet usually admits.

In 2022, researchers who had followed roughly half a million adults in the United Kingdom for more than a decade published their results in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Among that group, people who drank two or more cups of black tea a day had a 9% to 13% lower risk of death during the study period than people who drank none, including lower rates of death from cardiovascular disease. The association held whether or not people added milk or sugar, whatever temperature they drank it at, and regardless of how well they tolerated caffeine. Harvard Health notes that black tea is rich in plant compounds called theaflavins, the polyphenols researchers point to when they write about it.

The honest caveat, which the authors state themselves: the study was observational. It can show that tea drinking and longer life turned up together in the same people. It cannot show that the tea is what caused it. Tea drinkers may differ from non-tea-drinkers in a hundred other ways.

So we are not going to tell you what our tea will do for you, because nobody has studied our tea, and we would be making it up. What we can tell you is what is in it. The English Breakfast in this bento is exactly the kind of tea that study tracked: real whole-leaf black tea, Keemun, Assam and Ceylon, nothing added. The other six blends make sure the habit has somewhere to go after the morning cup. Whether the daily cup becomes yours is a decision we are happy to leave with you.

Why this, and not that

Instead of…

Six honest comparisons. Every one of them is about the tea, the packaging or the price, not about what it will do to you.

One big box of one blend
Seven blends across two boxes. Five sachets per tube is enough to properly get to know a tea and not enough to get bored of it.
Caffeinated tea only
Four of the seven are caffeine-free. Nighttime Routine, Spa Bliss, Peppermint and the Calming Tea, so the after-dinner cup is an option rather than a mistake.
Loose leaf, an infuser and a rinse
Pyramid sachets. No hardware, no strainer, nothing to wash. Whole leaf and real herbs, just already portioned.
Dust-grade supermarket teabags
Whole leaf, blended in small batches in Golden, Colorado, by a company that is a member of the Japan America Society of Colorado. You can see the leaves and the flowers.
Plastic-mesh teabags
Plant-based, biodegradable sachets made from non-GMO sugarcane, free of petroleum-based microplastics.

What to expect

Your first 45 cups.

Day one

The box arrives ribboned. Six tubes line up like a tasting flight. Kettle on, first sachet in, five minutes, and the bundle has already paid its first cup.

Week one

You have a favorite by now. For most people it is the English Breakfast first thing, and an argument between Jasmine Green and Garden Sunrise for the second slot.

Week two

The evening cup joins the routine, because for once there is something caffeine-free in the cupboard worth reaching for. The Calming pouch starts disappearing fastest.

Week six

Forty-five cups in, you know exactly which blends you will reorder full-size. That is the whole point of a sampler that tastes this good.

“The perfect gift”

I have bought several of these as gifts and every single person has loved it. The box is so beautiful you do not even need to wrap it, and the teas are actually good, not just pretty packaging.

Kathleen R. · Verified Buyer

“My nightly ritual”

A cup every night before bed. The licorice makes it naturally sweet so I do not add anything to it. Cozy is the best word I have for it.

Dana M. · Verified Buyer

“Beautiful box, even better tea”

Bought this for my mom’s birthday and she has not stopped talking about it. Nighttime Routine is her favorite. Ordering another one for my sister-in-law.

Megan S. · Verified Buyer

“Soothing and delicious”

Peppermint up front and the sage rounds it out. Caffeine-free is the whole reason I bought it, and it is now the only tea I reach for after dinner.

Karen T. · Verified Buyer

“Gifted one, kept one”

Ordered as a thank-you gift and ended up keeping one for myself. No regrets. The packaging is gorgeous and the peppermint is so fresh.

Rachel B. · Verified Buyer

“Great way to try everything”

I loved getting to try six teas without committing to a whole tin of one. The jasmine green is incredible. Already reordered, and the next one is going in a gift basket.

Three steps

How to steep it.

Boil, then wait a beat

Bring eight ounces of water to the boil and let it settle for a moment. About 212°F is what the pouch calls for.

One sachet, five minutes

Drop a pyramid sachet straight into the cup. No infuser, no strainer. Five minutes is the sweet spot; longer makes it stronger.

Lift it out and drink

The sachets are plant-based and biodegradable, made from non-GMO sugarcane, so they go in the compost when you’re done.

Two Tea with Tae bento boxes stacked and tied with cream ribbon

And if you’d rather give it away

It was designed as a gift first.

The bento is built the way a Japanese bento box is: six compartments, six blends, so the box itself is the wrapping. It arrives tied with a cream ribbon and needs no paper, no bag and no explaining.

Which is why plenty of people buy this pairing and split it: the bento goes to a host, a teacher or an in-law, and the Calming pouch quietly stays in their own cupboard. We think that is the correct use of it.

A note from the founder

“We source premium, quality-tested teas and herbs from trusted farms around the world, then blend them fresh in small batches in our Colorado facility. Each cup is a small reminder to slow down, sip, and connect with loved ones in life’s everyday moments. That’s what Tea with Tae is all about: bringing people together one cup of tea at a time.”

Good to know

Questions, steeped and answered.

What exactly comes in the bundle?

Two boxes. The Bestsellers Bento holds six mini tea tubes (English Breakfast, Garden Sunrise, Jasmine Green Tea, Nighttime Routine, Spa Bliss and Peppermint) at five pyramid sachets each, so 30 sachets in a gift-ready box. Alongside it, the Calming Tea Pouch: 15 sachets of caffeine-free peppermint, licorice root and sage. That is 45 cups of tea in a single order.

How does the 20% off work?

Tap any buy button on this page and both products go straight to checkout with the pairing discount already applied. $55 drops to $44. There is no code to remember and nothing to type.

Which blends have caffeine, and which don’t?

Three of the seven contain caffeine: English Breakfast (a black tea blend), Garden Sunrise (sencha green) and Jasmine Green Tea. Four are completely caffeine-free: Nighttime Routine, Spa Bliss, Peppermint, and the Calming Tea in the pouch. That is the whole point of the pairing: the caffeinated ones cover the morning, the caffeine-free ones cover the evening.

How long will 45 cups last me?

Divide by however many cups a day you drink. The bento holds 30 sachets and the standard pouch holds 15, so at a cup a day the pair lasts about six weeks. At two a day, one in the morning and one after dinner, which is how this pairing is meant to be used, it lasts a little over three weeks. If you get through more than that, the 90-sachet pouch option brings the price per cup down considerably.

Is the bento actually gift-ready?

That is what it was designed for. It arrives tied with a cream ribbon in a box built to be the presentation: 8.5 by 6 by 2 inches, compact enough to hand over as-is. No wrapping paper, no gift bag. Plenty of customers keep both boxes for themselves, though, and we don’t judge.

How do I brew them?

One sachet in eight ounces of water just off the boil, about 212°F, for five minutes. The sachets are pyramid-shaped so the whole leaves have room to open, and they are plant-based, made from non-GMO sugarcane and free of petroleum-based microplastics, so they compost when you’re done.

What about shipping?

Orders over $40 ship free, and this bundle clears that on its own. It leaves our Golden, Colorado facility within two to three business days.

Is there anything in it I should check first?

These are foods, not supplements, and there is nothing artificial in them, but herbal ingredients are still ingredients. The Calming Tea contains licorice root and the Nighttime Routine contains valerian root, neither of which suits everyone. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a health condition, check with your doctor first. The full ingredient list for every blend is on this page.

Can I buy just one of the two?

Of course. Both are sold on their own on our site. The pairing exists because the 20% only applies when they go through checkout together, and because most people who buy one end up buying the other anyway.

What if it’s not love at first steep?

Every order is backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If something isn’t right, reach out and we will make it right.
