Green tea should not require a mug, tea bag, strainer, spoonful of loose leaves and five minutes of waiting. HI TEA puts the tea blend directly inside a small ready-to-use paper cup, so your tea can be prepared wherever hot water is available.

Each HI TEA cup contains 1.7 g of tea blend settled below a non-woven cotton filter. The cup holds approximately 210 ml, and every retail box contains 8 ready-to-use cups.


How to Prepare HI TEA in 10 Seconds

  1. Open one HI TEA cup.
  2. Add approximately 10 ml of boiling-hot water directly into the cup.
  3. Gently swirl for around 10 seconds.
  4. Add another 180–190 ml of hot water.
  5. Your HI TEA is ready to sip.

That is it. No separate tea bag, mug, infuser or brewing equipment is required.

Why Add 10 ml of Hot Water First?

HI TEA is designed differently from a conventional tea bag. The flavour blend is already settled inside the cup below the filter.

Adding a small amount of boiling-hot water first and swirling the cup helps the tea blend interact with the hot water before the remaining water is added. This makes the preparation quick, simple and consistent.

Is HI TEA a Tea Bag?

No. HI TEA does not contain a separate tea bag that you have to dip, squeeze or remove.

The tea blend sits inside the paper cup below a non-woven cotton filter. You simply add hot water, swirl and drink directly from the same cup.

How Much Tea Is Inside Each Cup?

Each ready-to-use cup contains approximately 1.7 g of tea blend.

The serving cup holds approximately 210 ml, making it a compact individual green tea serving rather than a large takeaway beverage.

How Many Cups Are in One HI TEA Box?

Every HI TEA retail box contains 8 individual ready-to-use cups.

Each cup is already prepared with its tea blend inside, so there is nothing separate to measure or carry.

Can You Brew the Same HI TEA Cup Twice?

Yes. A HI TEA cup can be brewed twice.

After enjoying the first serving, you can add hot water again for a second, naturally lighter brew.

Where Can You Prepare HI TEA?

Because the tea blend, filter and serving cup are already together, HI TEA works anywhere you have access to hot water.

That makes it useful for office desks, office pantries, home routines, travel, hotel rooms, exhibitions, events and quick tea breaks.

Which HI TEA Flavours Can You Prepare This Way?

The same simple preparation method works across the HI TEA range: Green Tea, Mint, Ginger, Lemon, Lemon & Honey, Chamomile, Kashmiri Kahwa, Hibiscus and Jasmine.

HI TEA vs Traditional Green Tea Preparation

Traditional green tea often means finding a cup, opening a tea bag or measuring leaves, steeping, removing the tea and cleaning up afterwards.

HI TEA combines the tea blend + filter + serving cup into one ready-to-use format.

The idea is simple: fewer steps between wanting green tea and actually drinking it.

A Green Tea Format Made for Modern Routines

HI TEA was created around a simple question: why should preparing one cup of green tea require several separate things?

For increasingly mobile routines across modern India, convenience matters. A ready-to-use tea cup can move from the home to the office, hotel room, event or travel bag without changing the basic preparation process.

Open. Add a little boiling-hot water. Swirl for 10 seconds. Add the remaining hot water. Sip.
