Why māmaki tea is made to last longer than a single cup.
Unlike typical tea bags that are brewed once and tossed, māmaki is meant to be brewed two to three times. It does not turn bitter or harsh after the first cup. Instead, it slowly releases its flavor and benefits over time.
Most traditional teas contain tannins. Tannins are what cause tea to become bitter or astringent when steeped too long. That is why many teas need precise brewing times and are usually discarded after one use.
Māmaki is different.
Māmaki leaves are naturally very low in tannins, which means the tea does not turn bitter, even when left in hot water for extended periods of time. Because of this, each tea bag is meant to be brewed over and over, slowly releasing flavor and benefits with every refill.
This makes māmaki tea perfect for real life. Busy mornings, long workdays, school drop-offs, or evenings when you just want something warm without starting over each time.
All you have to do is leave the tea bag in your cup or bottle and keep adding hot water as the day goes on. You can enjoy it hot or cold, day or night. One tea bag can carry you through hours of gentle hydration without needing to pack extra tea or think ahead.
Simple, flexible, and made to move with you. Just the way tea should be.
