How to drop
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.
Hot tea
Drop your Tea Drop into your cup and add 4-6oz hot water. Stir. Enjoy!
Iced tea
Drop your Tea Drop into your cup and add 4oz boiling water. Stir, then pour over a cup of ice. Add 4oz cold water. Feeling fancy? Top with our jellies, fresh fruit or your favorite garnish.
Hot latte
Drop your Tea Drop into a cup and add 8oz hot water. Pour in your milk of choice, stir and sip!
Iced latte
Drop your Tea Drop into a cup and add 4oz hot water. Stir until the drop dissolves, then add 2 oz of cold water and top with ice.
Boba pearls
In the microwave: Cut the packet open, add to a microwave-safe container, and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
On the stove: Place the packet in boiling water for one minute.
Boba tea
Drop your Tea Drop into your cup, add 4oz water and then stir until the tea dissolves. In a separate cup, add your heated boba, then pour in your tea and add ice.
Jelly topping
Want an extra pop of flavor in your tea? Try adding a jelly to your hot tea, iced tea, latte, or even boba. Our single serve packets help you create that cafe experience in seconds.
Either add it to your cup first before you pour over your tea, or use it as a delicious topper to get your tastebuds singing.
Thai Iced Tea
Thai Iced Tea is known in Thailand as Cha Yen meaning "cold tea".
Dissolve your Tea Drop in 3 oz. of hot water and stir!
Add an additional 2 oz of cold water and ice.
Do Tea Drops dissolve completely?
Unlike instant tea, Tea Drops are made with genuine tea leaves, delicately ground and pressed into convenient little drops. That means they won’t dissolve completely, like heavily processed instant tea would.
Just as you might notice some fruit pulp left over at the end of a delicious organic smoothie, you’ll notice some tea leaves and sediment at the bottom of your teacup.
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.
So based on what we've told you, we recommend trying it out! If it's not for you, skip the last sip... tea time is your time!

Did you know Tea Drops are ~15% less waste than the traditional tea bag and our packaging helps cut waste, reduce carbon footprint, and save energy? There is further to go – but we’re already making huge strides.
Our packaging is made from:
- 39,034+ recycled milk jugs*saved from landfill
- Compostable material madefrom discarded corn
- 100% recyclable or 100%compostable wherever we can
*That’s called post-consumer recycled material, or PCR. All the stuff that otherwise goes to waste, now used to keep your tea safe. Smart, right?
Hi, I'm Sashee
Messy tea bags were annoying me
Tea has always been a huge part of my life, my culture, and my family. My mother is Chinese and my father is Sri Lankan – he was even born on a tea estate – so the ritual of brewing and drinking everything from black Assam to chrysanthemum tea is in my blood.
For years, I wished I had the time (and the patience) to brew the traditional loose-leaf tea I used to make with my parents.
And stale, bland tea bags full of microplastics just weren’t cutting it.
Easy enough to make at my desk at work, and delicious enough to make my parents proud. And in as many flavors and styles as possible, so I can get the variety I find in my favorite cafe from the cozy comfort of home.
Tea Drops have become part of my new ritual – and I hope they do the same for you, too.
Every order gets clean water where it’s needed most.
We’ve partnered with Thirst Project to help turn the tide on the global water crisis. For every order, we’ll donate clean water to someone in need.

How are Tea Drops made?
We start with only the finest organic whole leaf tea from Fair Trade certified farms all over the world. Next, we delicately grind the tea and add in the freshest herbs and spices. Then it’s all mixed and compressed into a fun, convenient shape for a truly unique tea experience.
Nothing freeze-dried, no extraction process like instant tea – just delicious and genuine tea. That’s why you may notice tea sediment at the bottom of your cup!
Our teas are also proudly made in the US.
Where is your tea sourced?
Our organic, real tea leaves are sourced from all over the world - from Japan to Sri Lanka and China. We import leaves from the best and most authentic places, then proudly manufacture our Tea Drops in the USA. We support fair trade and organic harvesting. That means we not only care about the people that grow our tea, but their working conditions as well. Fair Trade certification ensures farmers make a fair profit on the tea they supply for our Drops.
What do Tea Drops taste like?
Tea Drops taste exactly like a bold cup of loose-leaf tea, because they are made with real tea leaves and spices. No artificial flavors! Most Tea Drops come lightly sweetened with demerara cane sugar.
Do Tea Drops contain sugar?
Our line of Tea Drops contains sugar. We find that a bit of sugar gives tea the smooth, rounded flavor that makes it so delicious. That’s why we add it into most of our Tea Drops: so you can drop it in and drink straight away, without having to add sugar or sweeteners. We think, for those that take their tea with sugar, it makes it ultra convenient.
And, like every ingredient we add into Tea Drops, we’ve worked hard to find the best sugar: organic raw demerara cane sugar.
It’s really the good stuff – and it makes Tea Drops an amazing base for lattes and boba drinks, as well as beautifully balanced cups of tea.
You can adjust the sweetness of your tea by adding more or less hot water or milk to your drink.
What is your custom box? Do I have to subscribe to try it?
Monday: white tea. Tuesday: matcha. Wednesday: chai boba…
If you’re the type of tea drinker who loves to mix it up and try something new, our custom box lets you mix and match Tea Drops to your heart’s content.
You can build your own box with any combination of teas or boba that catch your eye – and even combine Tea Drops and boba in one box.
It’s all designed to be delicious, easily customizable, and as varied as you like it – without leaving you with a pantry full of unused tea boxes.
And no, you don’t have to subscribe to create a custom box. Just create your box and check out.
(But we have to say it – subscriptions are pretty incredible for frequent tea drinkers. Free shipping, free gifts, best-value pricing – all while still being completely flexible and customizable. We’ll just leave this link to our subscription page here .)
How do you prepare a Tea Drop?
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.
That’s the basics, but it’s really only the beginning.
