Tea Drops are a bagless instant tea made from finely ground whole leaf tea and real spices that dissolve in hot water. Unlike traditional tea bags or powdered instant tea mixes, Tea Drops contain the full tea leaf, allowing you to enjoy real brewed tea in seconds — without steeping or plastic tea bags.

Tea Drops contain real loose leaf tea that has been finely ground and pressed into a dissolvable drop. This allows you to experience the benefits of loose leaf tea in an instant format.

Tea Drops contain:

• Finely ground whole leaf tea
• Real fruit powders
• Whole spices
• Natural essential oils (where applicable)
• Organic cane sugar (in select blends)

We prioritize simple, recognizable ingredients.

Yes. Tea Drops are a microplastic free tea option because we do not use plastic tea bags or mesh sachets. Since our tea is dissolvable and bagless, there is no plastic steeping material that could shed microplastics into your cup.

Some tea bags do. Many modern pyramid or “silky” tea bags are made from nylon or PET plastic, which can release microplastics when exposed to hot water. Choosing tea without tea bags — like Tea Drops — is one way to avoid this issue.

Tea without tea bags is a bagless tea format that eliminates the need for disposable steeping materials. Instead of steeping a sachet, Tea Drops dissolve directly into hot water. This creates a more convenient, plastic free tea experience.

Choosing tea without tea bags means:

• No plastic or nylon mesh
• No microplastic shedding concerns
• No soggy bags to discard
• Faster preparation
• Full ingredient transparency

It’s a cleaner, simpler way to enjoy tea.

Tea Drops are designed as an eco friendly tea option by eliminating plastic-based tea bags and reducing unnecessary packaging. Our mission is to create a more sustainable way to enjoy tea without compromising quality.

Yes. Tea Drops are a plastic free tea because we do not use nylon, PET, or “silky” tea bags. Many traditional tea bags — especially pyramid sachets — are made with plastic-based materials that can release microplastics when exposed to boiling water. Tea Drops are completely bagless, eliminating hidden plastics found in conventional tea packaging.

We aim to reduce plastic wherever possible. Tea Drops eliminate plastic tea bags entirely. Outer packaging materials are designed to be recyclable where local facilities allow. We are continually working to improve our packaging sustainability.

Because Tea Drops are bagless, there is no tea bag to compost or discard. You’re enjoying the entire tea leaf in your cup, reducing leftover waste.

Yes — but it’s a premium kind. Tea Drops are an instant tea made from real ground whole leaf tea, not spray-dried extracts or artificially flavored powders. Simply add hot water, stir, and enjoy. No steeping required.

Tea Drops dissolve into your cup, though you may notice some fine tea particles at the bottom — similar to loose leaf tea sediment. Many customers enjoy the full leaf experience, but you can strain if preferred.

Traditional instant tea is typically made from tea extract and often contains added sugars or flavorings. Tea Drops are made from whole leaf tea, real fruit powders, spices, and essential oils — never artificial flavor packets or corn syrup solids. It’s instant tea with real ingredients.

No. Tea Drops are made with real ingredients including ground whole leaf tea, fruit powders, spices, and essential oils. We do not rely on artificial flavoring packets. We believe tea should taste like real tea — not lab-created flavors.

Tea Drops are designed as a more sustainable tea alternative to traditional bagged tea. Because we eliminate tea bags, we reduce packaging waste and avoid plastic-based sachets. Our bagless format supports a lower-waste, eco friendly tea experience.

Tea Drops are a low waste, eco friendly tea option compared to conventional tea bags. By removing the tea bag entirely, we reduce unnecessary materials in every cup. While no product is perfectly zero waste, our goal is to minimize environmental impact wherever possible.

Get ready – this is where the magic happens. To make a hot tea with a Tea Drop: 

• Choose your tea strength: Use one Tea Drop per one 8-12 oz cup of boiling water. Add more water for a lighter tea; add less for a strong brew. 
• Drop and stir: Use a spoon to mix the tea for 5-10 seconds. Let the tea sit and dissolve for 30 seconds. 

That’s the basics, but it’s really only the beginning. Tea Drops are designed to make it easy to prepare a huge range of drinks that would otherwise be too tough or time consuming to make at home. Lattes, milk teas, boba drinks, iced teas – they’re all quick and convenient to make with Tea Drops.

Tea Drops are designed to let you customize every part of your tea experience – which includes the strength of your drink! It all depends on how much water you add to your cup; add more water for a subtle taste, or less for a flavor that really packs a punch.

Boba tea tastes amazing when you use Tea Drops.  When you use Tea Drops to create your boba drinks, you are getting 100% real tea vs. the powder you get in some boba shops or other boba kits. With our single serve ingredients and our quick cook time boba, you can create your boba tea in less than 3 minutes.  Because we make our boba tea with real tea and you can use your own milk,our boba drinks are typically less calories too than other kits or your typical boba cafe.
