Best Teas To Wake You Up

June 18, 2018

We all know the feeling. The alarm rings. You drag yourself out of bed. You manage to get in the shower. But even after drying yourself off, you are far from awake. If you’re looking for the perfect way to wake up in the morning, it’s hard to get much better than a cup of premium quality loose leaf tea – and at Art of Tea, we’re proud to source only the highest-quality teas to ensure a satisfying cup every time. Try these teas to wake you up no matter how little sleep you’re on!

6:00 AM Tea

Being up and at ’em at 6am is no small order – but we’ve got your back. Our 6:00 AM tea blend is pure, unadulterated black tea for maximum energizing power. This black tea steeps to a rich, earthy blend and packs a caffeine punch to get you ready to take on anything for the rest of the day.

9:00 AM Tea

If you’re not in need of quite so much firepower but still need some oomph, our 9:00 AM tea is the perfect choice. This green tea blend features our organic, hand-rolled green tea combined with Italian oil of bergamot, creating a citrusy blend that’s sure to get you feeling awake and rejuvenated.

Black English Breakfast Tea

You can’t beat the classics, and our Black English Breakfast tea is an exceptional way to jump-start any morning. We’ve concocted a traditional blend of pure organic black tea, offering a malty flavor and just the right amount of caffeine to get you up and feeling energized no matter what you’re tackling this morning.

Tea is a great alternative to coffee when waking up in the morning, as you won’t get the jitters and anxiety that can come from a cup of joe. These three teas are all excellent options for getting your day started, but any of our green or black teas can provide an eye-opening boost. Whether you choose to start your morning with green tea, black tea, or matcha, we wish you luck in taking on whatever the day has in store!

Introducing: Art of Tea Matchasticks

June 1, 2018

After working with a family farm in Japan for almost a year, we’re finally ready to introduce you to our newest product: Art of Tea Matchasticks. Pre-measured and packed into light and heat resistant sticks, Matchasticks make enjoying matcha easy. If you’re new to matcha, the barrier to entry is low. You don’t need a whisk or matcha bowl to enjoy Matchasticks. You just need a bottle, like this one. If you’re a matcha veteran, you will love our Matchasticks‘ freshness. Our matcha is ground and packed at origin and immediately stored in a freezer to lock in freshness.

The Story

In May of 2017, our CEO went to Japan to visit one of the family farms we rely on for our Japanese green teas. We’ve worked closely with this farm for years and have met the farmers, tea producers, and their families. Because we’ve developed such a deep connection and relationship with this farm, we’re able to source better and rarer teas than ever before.

When our CEO, Steve, was in Japan in 2017, he was able to both source a rare, limited-supply tea called Shincha and begin work on what we’re now offering as Matchasticks. Matchasticks contain a proprietary matcha blend made with three varietals of green tea and that’s it. No fillers, fibers, or additives. Just green tea leaves. This unique blend helps create the Matchasticks’ balanced and sweet flavor profile.

It’s difficult to find matcha in the United States that’s as fresh as matcha in Japan. Matcha goes on a journey to make it to American shelves. It often goes through farms, packing plants, distributors, warehouses, and countless middlemen. We think that’s silly. Our matcha is ground and packed at origin and then shipped directly to us. That’s it. It’s the closest matcha will ever get to being farm to table.

Your New Morning Routine

We’ll be candid here: We think everybody should ditch coffee for matcha.

When it comes to comparing the two, we can’t think of a single argument coffee could win. (Unless you’re fond of feeling jitters, we guess.) Matcha has the same caffeine content as coffee, but gives a longer, more even-headed caffeine buzz. There’s a reason monks drink tea instead of coffee before sitting down for hours of meditation. Matcha is also believed to be beneficial to your health. Finally, Matchasticks take significantly less effort than a cup of coffee. Just add one Matchastick to a bottle of water and shake.

Try our new Matchasticks and see what all the buzz is about.
