Verified Buyer Tea with Tae review

You already have a tea you reach for. This adds the other way to drink it, hot or iced, for $5, so the format you keep skipping finally has something worth steeping.

Start with the format you love. We add a pouch of the opposite, half off, so one order covers both the morning kettle and the afternoon pitcher.

  • A full bento: 30 pyramid sachets, six blends, in a ribboned, gift-ready box
  • A whole second format for $5: add the opposite of your base and the pouch is half off
  • Whole leaf and real herbs, blended fresh in small batches in Golden, Colorado
  • No added sugar, nothing artificial, vegan, gluten-free, biodegradable sachets
  • Ships free, and arrives ready to hand over or keep for yourself

Ships by from Golden, Colorado

Pick your base

Whichever you choose, we add a pouch of the opposite format for $5. That is the whole idea: both ways to steep.

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 things. A full Tea Bento Box in the format you pick, six mini tubes at five pyramid sachets each, so 30 sachets in a ribboned box. Alongside it, a $10 pouch of the opposite format, brought to $5 by the pairing. Start hot and the pouch is iced; start iced and the pouch is hot.

How does the $5 work?

The bento is full price at $45. The pairing takes the $10 pouch down to $5, so the two together are $50 instead of $55. Tap the button and both go to checkout with the discount already applied. Nothing to type.

Hot or iced, which should I start with?

Start with the one you already drink most. The point of the pair is the other one: you get a full bento of your usual, plus a pouch of the format you never get around to buying, for $5.

Which blends have caffeine?

It depends on the blends, not the format, both hot and iced come in caffeinated and caffeine-free. Every blend’s caffeine status and full ingredient list is on its own product page, linked from your cart.

How do I steep them?

Hot: one sachet in eight ounces of water just off the boil, about 212°F, for five minutes. Iced: steep and pour over ice, or cold-brew a pitcher in the fridge. 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 the pair 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 one format is never enough

You found a tea you love. Then only ever drank it one way.

Most of us pick a lane. You are a hot-tea person, so the kettle goes on all winter and the iced-tea shelf never gets started. Or you live on iced all summer, and the nice hot blends sit in the cupboard until the pot of one you already opened runs out. The other half of how you could be drinking tea just never makes it into the cart.

Which is a shame, because it is the same whole-leaf tea either way. The only thing standing between your morning kettle and an afternoon pitcher is one more decision and the small guilt of buying a second thing you are not sure you will use.

So the pair removes both. Keep the format you love at full size, and add a pouch of the opposite for $5, not a whole second commitment. Steep it hot on a grey morning, pour it over ice when the afternoon turns warm. One order, both ways.

The arithmetic

What the second format actually costs.

No membership, no subscription, no minimum. A full bento at its normal price, and the other format for the cost of a coffee.

$45Full-price bento, either format
$5The opposite format, half off
$50The pair, shipped free

On their own, the bento is $45 and a pouch is $10, so $55. Paired, the pouch is half off and both boxes ship together for $50. Five dollars is the entire cost of covering the way you don’t drink tea yet.

Why this, and not that

Instead of…

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

Drinking tea one way only
Both ways to steep. A full bento of the format you love, plus a pouch of the other for $5.

A $5 pouch, not a $10 commitment. Try the format you skip without buying a full box of it.
Loose leaf, an infuser and a rinse
Pyramid sachets, hot or iced. No hardware, no strainer, nothing to wash. Whole leaf, just already portioned.
Dust-grade supermarket teabags
Whole leaf, blended in small batches in Golden, Colorado. You can see the leaves and the flowers.

The Tea with Tae promise

Six things we can put in writing.

Across 1,398 reviews · 35,000+ customers served

“Now I keep both going”

I’m a hot-tea-all-winter person, so the iced pouch was the surprise. Cold-brewed a pitcher of the classic black and it got me through a heat wave. Both formats now live on my counter.

Verified Buyer

“The box is the gift”

Beautiful enough that you do not need to wrap it, and the tea is actually good, not just pretty packaging. I bought one for a friend and kept the pouch for myself.

Verified Buyer

“Six blends, no boredom”

Loved getting to try six teas without committing to a whole tin of one. The jasmine green is incredible and the peppermint is so fresh. Already reordered.

Verified Buyer

“Finally an evening cup”

Half of these are caffeine-free, which is the whole reason I bought it. Nighttime Routine after dinner has become the calmest part of my day.

Verified Buyer

“Iced all summer”

Started iced because it was July, and the hot pouch that came with it is what I am saving for the first cold morning. Smart way to buy tea, honestly.

Verified Buyer

“Quality you can see”

You can actually see the whole leaves and flowers in the sachet. Feels a world away from the dusty teabags I used to buy. Ships fast, too.

Three steps

How to steep it, both ways.

Hot: boil, then wait a beat

Bring eight ounces of water to the boil and let it settle for a moment, about 212°F. One pyramid sachet straight into the cup, no infuser.

Five minutes, then lift it out

Five minutes is the sweet spot; longer makes it stronger. The sachets are plant-based and compostable, so they go straight in the bin when you’re done.

Iced: over ice, or cold-brew

Steep it strong and pour over a full glass of ice, or drop a sachet in water and leave it in the fridge overnight for a clean, no-bitterness pitcher.

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

And if you’d rather give it away

The bento was designed as a gift first.

It 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 the pair and split it: the bento goes to a host, a teacher or an in-law, and the $5 pouch quietly stays in their own cupboard. We think that is the correct use of it.

Good to know

Questions, steeped and answered.

What exactly comes in the pair?

A full Tea Bento Box in the format you choose, six mini tubes at five pyramid sachets each, so 30 sachets in a ribboned, gift-ready box. Alongside it, a pouch of the opposite format. Start hot and the pouch is iced; start iced and the pouch is hot.

How does the $50 price work?

The bento is $45 on its own and the pouch is normally $10. Paired, the pouch drops to $5, so the two together are $50 instead of $55. Tap any “Get the pair” button and both go to checkout with the discount already applied, nothing to type.

Should I start with hot or iced?

Start with the format you already drink most, that is your full 30-sachet bento. The pouch is the other format, the one you keep meaning to try. If you live on hot tea, you get an iced pouch to cold-brew; if you are an iced drinker, you get a hot pouch for the first cool morning.

Which blends have caffeine?

Both formats include caffeinated and caffeine-free blends, so it depends on the blend, not on hot versus iced. In the hot bento, for example, Nighttime Routine, Spa Bliss and Peppermint are caffeine-free. Every blend’s caffeine status and full ingredient list is on its own product page.

How long will the pair last me?

The bento holds 30 sachets and the pouch adds more of the second format, so at a cup a day the pair lasts around six weeks. Steep the black and green sachets a second time, which good whole-leaf tea takes happily, and it stretches further.

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 needed. Plenty of people gift the bento and keep the $5 pouch for themselves.

How do I brew them?

Hot: one sachet in eight ounces of water just off the boil, about 212°F, for five minutes. Iced: steep strong and pour over ice, or cold-brew a sachet in the fridge overnight. The pyramid shape gives the whole leaves room to open, and the sachets are plant-based, made from non-GMO sugarcane and free of petroleum-based microplastics.

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. Some blends contain licorice root or valerian root, which do not suit 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 its product page.

What about shipping?

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

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.
