What’s Inside One HI TEA Box? 8 Cups, 1.7 g Blend & Built-In Filter
Open a HI TEA box, and the brewing system is already inside. See how 8 ready-to-use 210 ml cups, 1.7 g tea blend and the built-in filter work together.
A HI TEA box looks simple from the outside.
But instead of containing separate tea bags, loose tea or powdered sachets, it contains 8 complete ready-to-use tea cups.
Each HI TEA cup already contains the tea blend and built-in filter required for preparation. You simply add hot water when you want to drink it.
What Comes Inside One HI TEA Box?
Every retail HI TEA box contains:
- 8 ready-to-use paper cups
- 210 ml capacity per cup
- Approximately 1.7 g of tea blend inside each cup
- A built-in non-woven cotton filter
- No separate tea bag
The idea is simple: instead of carrying the tea and the cup separately, HI TEA combines them into one ready-to-use serving format.
How Big Is One HI TEA Cup?
Each HI TEA cup holds approximately 210 ml.
The 210 ml serving format combines the tea blend, built-in filter and serving cup into one ready-to-use tea experience.
This makes the format practical for:
- Office desks
- Travel bags
- Hotel rooms
- Meetings
- Events
- Everyday home tea breaks
How Much Tea Is Inside Each Cup?
Each HI TEA cup contains approximately 1.7 g of tea blend.
The blend is already portioned before you open the cup, so there is no need to measure tea leaves with a spoon.
That also means the preparation process stays consistent from one cup to the next.
Where Is the Tea Blend?
The tea blend sits at the bottom of the cup, below the built-in filter.
When you look inside an unused HI TEA cup, you do not see loose leaves floating around the drinking area.
Instead, you see the filter surface. The tea blend is positioned underneath it.
What Is the Non-Woven Cotton Filter?
Inside every HI TEA cup is a non-woven cotton filter positioned above the tea blend.
Its job is to help keep the tea blend below while allowing the hot water and tea to interact during preparation.
This is why HI TEA does not need a separate tea bag hanging inside the cup.
Is the Filter the Same as a Tea Bag?
No.
A conventional tea bag is normally a separate pouch containing tea. You place it into a mug, brew the tea and then remove the wet bag.
With HI TEA, the tea blend is already inside the serving cup and the filter is built into the cup system.
There is therefore:
- No separate tea bag to dip.
- No string hanging over the side.
- No wet tea bag to remove.
- No separate mug required.
What Does the Inside of a HI TEA Cup Look Like?
From above, the inside looks different from a normal empty paper cup.
The filter forms a layer inside the lower portion of the cup. Beneath that layer sits the tea blend.
This built-in preparation system allows the cup to contain everything required for tea preparation while keeping the drinking area clear.
Is HI TEA Powdered Instant Tea?
No.
HI TEA should not be confused with powdered tea premix.
Powdered premixes are generally designed to dissolve directly into water.
HI TEA uses a tea blend below a built-in filter. The blend stays within the cup system while the tea is prepared with hot water.
Is HI TEA a Ready-to-Drink Beverage?
No.
HI TEA is not bottled or canned prepared tea.
It is better understood as a ready-to-use green tea cup.
You add hot water when you are ready to drink it.
How Do You Prepare One Cup?
- Open one HI TEA cup.
- Add approximately 10 ml of boiling-hot water.
- Gently swirl for around 10 seconds.
- Add another 180–190 ml of hot water.
- Let the tea reach a comfortable drinking temperature.
No separate tea bag, mug, infuser or strainer is required.
Read the detailed guide: How to Prepare HI TEA in 10 Seconds .
Why Add 10 ml of Hot Water First?
The first 10 ml of hot water reaches the tea concentrated beneath the filter.
The swirl helps start the preparation before the cup is filled with the remaining hot water.
Think of the process as:
Add → Swirl → Fill → Sip.
How Many Cups Are in One Box?
Every retail box contains 8 individual ready-to-use cups.
That means the tea blend is already divided into eight individual servings.
You do not need to measure loose tea or divide a larger packet yourself.
How Much Tea Blend Is in a Full Box?
Each cup contains approximately 1.7 g of blend.
With eight cups in a box, that gives approximately:
1.7 g × 8 cups = 13.6 g of tea blend per box.
The box also contains the eight serving cups and their built-in filter systems.
Can One Cup Be Brewed Twice?
Yes.
After finishing the first serving, the same HI TEA cup can be brewed again for a naturally lighter second serving.
The flavour will generally be lighter because the same tea blend has already been brewed once.
Do You Add More Tea for the Second Brew?
No.
The same tea blend remains inside the cup beneath the filter.
You do not need to add another tea bag, loose tea or powder.
What Flavours Come in HI TEA?
The HI TEA range includes nine flavour options:
- Green Tea
- Mint
- Ginger
- Lemon
- Lemon & Honey
- Chamomile
- Kashmiri Kahwa
- Hibiscus
- Jasmine
The cup colours and blends vary by flavour, but the ready-to-use cup system remains the same.

Does Every Flavour Use a 210 ml Cup?
Yes.
The standard HI TEA serving format uses a 210 ml ready-to-use paper cup.
Keeping the serving format consistent means you can change flavours without learning a different preparation method every time.
Does Every Cup Contain 1.7 g?
HI TEA uses approximately 1.7 g of tea blend per serving cup.
This gives each ready-to-use cup its pre-portioned tea serving before hot water is added.
Why Put the Tea Directly Inside the Cup?
The main purpose is convenience.
Traditional tea preparation separates several things:
- The tea
- The tea bag or infuser
- The serving mug
- The preparation process
HI TEA combines the tea blend, built-in filter and 210 ml serving cup into one ready-to-use format.
That can make tea easier in situations where carrying or cleaning extra equipment is inconvenient.
Where Is This Format Useful?
Ready-to-use HI TEA cups can fit naturally into:
- Office tea breaks
- Business travel
- Hotel stays
- College or study breaks
- Corporate meetings
- Events
- Home routines
