Welcome to Molbani Tea Company: home of the original Tea Gems!
What the heck is a Tea Gem?
Tea Gems are a quick and easy way to get your tea fix, influenced by the Japanese mentality of no waste (無駄 – むだ) and the confectionary Higashi (干菓子 – ひがし). The Tea Gem is a concentrated, all-natural dose of tea in a convenient package that can be taken with you to your next adventure.
How do I use a Tea Gem?
Tea Gems are convenient in that you can take them out of your pocket, plunk one in a cup and pour over cold or hot water. Whether you’re late to a meeting, getting your gym fix, or settling down after a long day, Tea Gems give your tea anywhere, anytime!
Why are Tea Gems better than regular tea?
-
Looseleaf teas usually require heating water to enjoy, while Tea Gems can be used in cold water due to their unique flavour dispersion properties.
-
About 30% of the waste from tea bags can be reduced from tea products by foregoing the tea bag, while also reducing fuel costs from the reduced packaging volume and weight.
-
Poly “silken” tea bags can disperse more than 3 billion pieces of plastic right into your cup of tea: talk about gross!
-
When you’re done with your tea, tea usually needs to be composted/thrown away, keeping you from getting all that the tea leaves offer – もったいない! (What a waste!) Tea Gem’s tea fines can be consumed along with the cup of tea giving you all the health benefits of every herb, and not just a fraction.
-
Since our teas have a higher contact area than looseleaf teas, the steeping time can be reduced by up to 50%!
