How to brew it
Three teas, one rule
Everything in this box is a root, a leaf or a flower rather than a tea leaf, and all three want exactly the same treatment. Learn it once and the whole box is easy.
Water straight off the boil
The opposite of green tea. Roots and whole botanicals are dense and they need full heat to give anything up. Water that has gone off the boil makes a weak, flat cup.
Put something over the cup
The part almost everybody skips. The aromatics leave in the steam, so an uncovered cup loses most of the smell before you drink it. A saucer sends them back down.
Five to eight minutes
Longer than you think, and longer than most people give them. There is no penalty for forgetting it either: none of these three has the tannins that turn black tea bitter.
Cold brew, storage, and the stovetop chai method in full.
The maths
What a cup actually costs
Three pouches sounds like a lot to buy at once. Spread across the cups in the box, a cup costs about what a supermarket tea bag costs and a fraction of what a coffee shop charges. The difference is what is in the bag.
| Compare | The Calm Stack | Coffee shop | Supermarket sleep tea bags |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost a cup | $0.46 | $3 to $6 | $0.20 to $0.45 |
| What is in it | Whole leaf and whole botanicals | Varies | Usually dust and fannings |
| Where it comes from | Bought direct from Indian gardens | Varies | Auction bought, blended by brokers |
| What you get | Three different teas | One cup | One blend, repeated |
| You pay | $45.87, down from $51.97 | Full price, every time | Varies |
| You keep | $6.10 | Nothing | Nothing |
| If you do not like it | 30 days to tell us | Already drunk | Already opened |
Cost a cup is based on the $45.87 price spread across the cups in this box. Coffee shop and supermarket sleep tea bags figures are typical US ranges and will vary by where you shop.
