About HI TEA

The cup format, Darjeeling green tea, pack size, filter method and what makes the product different.

What is HI TEA?
HI TEA is an Indian instant green tea brand built around one very simple idea: put the measured tea blend, filter and serving cup together. Each box has 8 ready-to-use 210 ml paper cups, each with 1.7 g of flavour-specific tea blend. Add hot water, swirl for 10 seconds and sip-no separate tea bag, mug or infuser.
What are HI TEA instant green tea cups?
They are small 210 ml paper cups with 1.7 g of tea blend already settled below a non-woven cotton filter. The cup is both the brewer and the serving cup-basically, your green tea setup has already packed itself.
How do I use a HI TEA cup?
Open the cup, add about 10 ml of boiling hot water, swirl gently for 10 seconds, then top up with 180-190 ml of hot water. The blend stays below the non-woven cotton filter while the flavour moves into the water. Sip from the same cup.
What makes HI TEA different from regular green tea?
Regular green tea usually asks you to find a mug, tea bag or infuser and then wait. HI TEA brings the 1.7 g blend, non-woven cotton filter and 210 ml serving cup together. It is quick, portable and can give you a lighter second brew too.
Is HI TEA a premix or powdered instant tea?
HI TEA is not a spoonable tea premix and it is not a sugary bottled drink. The flavour-specific tea blend sits below the filter and brews inside the cup when hot water is added. Instant convenience, yes; mystery powder floating around, no.
Does HI TEA require a separate tea bag?
No. There is no separate tea bag to dunk, squeeze or forget on the office desk. The 1.7 g tea blend is already inside the cup below the non-woven cotton filter.
What filtering method does HI TEA use?
A non-woven cotton filter sits inside the cup above the tea blend. It keeps the blend settled below while allowing the tea to brew into the hot water. That is why you can sip directly without carrying a separate strainer or tea bag.
How many cups are included in one HI TEA box?
One box contains 8 ready-to-use cups. Each cup is a 210 ml serving and contains 1.7 g of its selected flavour blend. Eight cups means eight easy tea breaks-or sixteen lighter servings when every cup is brewed twice.
How many ml is one HI TEA cup?
One HI TEA cup holds 210 ml, which is roughly 7.1 US fluid ounces. It is a small, light tea serving-not a giant cafe tumbler trying to become your new personality.
Can one HI TEA cup be brewed twice?
Yes. After the first 210 ml serving, add hot water again for a lighter second brew. The second cup will naturally be softer in taste-think encore, not copy-paste.
How much tea blend is in one HI TEA cup: 1.7 g?
Each cup contains 1.7 g of its flavour-specific tea blend, already measured for the 210 ml cup. No spoon, scale or guesswork needed; the right amount is waiting below the filter.
Where is the tea blend inside a HI TEA cup?
The 1.7 g tea blend is settled at the bottom of the cup below the non-woven cotton filter. Hot water passes through the brewing area while the filter keeps the blend from joining you at the rim.
Is HI TEA a tea bag?
No. HI TEA is not a separate tea bag. The 1.7 g flavour blend is already settled at the bottom of the paper cup below a non-woven cotton filter. Add hot water, swirl and sip from the same cup.
How big is the 210 ml HI TEA cup?
Each HI TEA cup holds 210 ml, which is about 7.1 US fluid ounces. It is a neat single-serve tea cup: smaller than many cafe mugs, but roomy enough for a proper green tea break.
Is 210 ml a small or regular tea serving?
It is a small, focused tea serving-larger than a tiny tasting cup and smaller than many cafe mugs. It is designed for a light green tea break, not a half-litre hydration mission.
Why was HI TEA launched?
Green tea had become unnecessarily complicated for busy people: find a mug, find a tea bag, wait, drip, clean and repeat. HI TEA was launched to turn that routine into one ready cup-add hot water, swirl and sip.
Where did the idea for HI TEA come from?
The idea came from a familiar Indian problem: we love tea, but modern days do not always give us a kitchen, a clean mug or ten quiet minutes. So the blend, filter and cup were brought together into one portable green tea format.
02

Prepare it your way

Water, brewing time, strength, hot or iced preparation and everyday use.

How do I prepare a HI TEA cup?
The official HI TEA ritual is: 1) open the cup, 2) add about 10 ml boiling hot water, 3) swirl for 10 seconds, and 4) add another 180-190 ml hot water. Your tea is ready to sip from the same cup.
Is HI TEA really ready in 10 seconds?
Yes-the key flavour-release step is a 10-second swirl after the first 10 ml pour. Then top up with 180-190 ml hot water. You may wait a little longer for a stronger taste, but the cup is designed for speed.
What water temperature should I use for HI TEA?
Use freshly boiled hot water. Start with only about 10 ml, swirl for 10 seconds, then add 180-190 ml more. Let it cool to a comfortable sipping temperature-tea should wake you up, not challenge your tongue.
Why does some green tea taste bitter?
Green tea can turn bitter when it is over-brewed, made too strong or left in very hot water for too long. HI TEA keeps the blend measured at 1.7 g and uses a quick swirl-and-top-up method to make the result more consistent.
How can I make HI TEA milder or stronger?
For a stronger cup, swirl a little longer before topping up. For a milder cup, add the full 190 ml top-up or use the same cup for a gentler second brew. Tiny adjustment, big mood difference.
Can HI TEA be enjoyed hot or iced?
Yes. Prepare it hot first so the blend releases properly, then pour over ice or let it cool. Do not skip the first hot-water swirl-the tea blend is talented, but it cannot negotiate with cold water.
Can I add honey or lemon to HI TEA?
You can customise the cup, though many HI TEA flavours are already blended for a complete taste. Check the ingredient panel first, then add a little honey or lemon only when you want extra sweetness or sharpness.
Can I add milk to green tea or HI TEA?
You can experiment, but HI TEA is designed as a light green tea experience and is usually enjoyed without milk. Milk may hide the flavour notes-especially floral, mint and hibiscus blends.
Do I need another mug to prepare HI TEA?
No extra mug is needed. The 210 ml HI TEA paper cup is the brewer and the drinking cup. Hot water is the only supporting actor required.
How should I store HI TEA boxes?
Store unopened boxes in a cool, dry place away from moisture, strong odours and direct sunlight. Keep the cups sealed until use so the 1.7 g blend stays fresh and ready for its ten-second debut.
Why does HI TEA start with only 10 ml of hot water?
The first 10 ml wakes up the measured blend without immediately flooding the cup. Swirling this small amount for 10 seconds helps release flavour evenly before you add the remaining 180-190 ml.
Why do I swirl HI TEA instead of steeping a tea bag?
Because HI TEA is not a hanging tea bag. The blend is already below the filter, so a gentle swirl moves the first hot water through the brewing area quickly. Ten seconds does the job-no spoon choreography required.
Should I fill the HI TEA cup completely to the rim?
No need. After the first 10 ml swirl, add about 180-190 ml more hot water. Leave a little breathing room near the rim so the tea is comfortable to carry and sip.
How is HI TEA ready to sip in 10 seconds?
Pour about 10 ml of boiling hot water first and swirl gently for 10 seconds. Then add another 180-190 ml of hot water. The cup is prepared; just let it cool briefly if the water is very hot.
Can I reuse the same HI TEA cup for a lighter second brew?
Yes. Once the first serving is finished, add hot water again and enjoy a milder second cup. Use it soon after the first brew rather than leaving the wet blend sitting around for hours.
03

Green tea, without the confusion

Understand green tea, black tea, herbal tea, matcha, loose leaf and quality before buying.

What is green tea made from?
Green tea is made from leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, the same plant used for black and oolong tea. The difference comes mainly from how the leaves are processed and oxidised.
What is the difference between green tea and black tea?
Both come from Camellia sinensis, but green tea is minimally oxidised while black tea is more fully oxidised. Green tea therefore tends to taste lighter and fresher, while black tea is usually darker and stronger.
Is green tea the same as herbal tea?
No. True green tea comes from Camellia sinensis and naturally contains caffeine. Herbal teas or infusions are made from herbs, flowers, fruits, or spices and may be caffeine-free unless blended with green tea.
What is the difference between green tea and matcha?
Green tea is usually brewed from leaves and the leaves are removed or filtered, while matcha is finely powdered tea leaf that is whisked and consumed in full. They differ in preparation, taste, texture, and typical caffeine concentration.
What is better: loose-leaf green tea, tea bags, or HI TEA cups?
Loose leaf gives maximum control, tea bags are familiar, and HI TEA cups win on speed and portability. Choose loose leaf for a slow ritual, a tea bag for the usual routine, or HI TEA when your mug, strainer and patience are all elsewhere.
Why does the origin of green tea matter?
Origin can influence aroma, taste, leaf character, and perceived quality. HI TEA highlights premium Darjeeling green tea as the base of its modern cup format.
How can I identify good-quality green tea?
Look for a clear ingredient list, credible origin information, fresh aroma, balanced taste, appropriate packaging, and preparation guidance. A good green tea should taste clean and refreshing rather than stale, aggressively bitter, or artificially perfumed.
Why do first-time green tea drinkers sometimes dislike the taste?
Many beginners overbrew green tea or use water that is too hot, creating unnecessary bitterness. Starting with familiar flavours such as Lemon, Lemon & Honey, or Mint can make the transition easier.
Can green tea replace milk tea or coffee?
It can replace some milk-tea or coffee breaks when you want something lighter. It will not taste like either-and that is the point. HI TEA offers a quick green tea pause without milk, a separate mug or a tea bag.
Can I drink green tea every day?
Many adults enjoy green tea daily as a beverage, but green tea naturally contains caffeine and individual tolerance varies. Moderate intake and attention to your overall caffeine, medicines, pregnancy status, and health needs are important.
How large is India�?Ts green tea market?
Market estimates vary, but IMARC valued India�?Ts green tea market at about US$703.7 million in 2025 and projects it to reach about US$1.17 billion by 2034. Translation: green tea is already serious business in India and still has room to grow.
Why are Gen Z and millennials choosing speciality tea?
They are looking beyond basic chai toward matcha, origin teas, herbal infusions and wellness-led flavours. The Economic Times reported India's speciality tea market at about Rs.1,000 crore in 2026-up from roughly Rs.300 crore five years earlier-with younger buyers helping drive the shift.
What is matcha made from?
Matcha is made from specially grown tea leaves that are processed and ground into a fine powder, so the whole leaf is consumed. Regular green tea is brewed and filtered. HI TEA is not matcha; it uses a measured flavour blend below a filter inside the cup.
04

Wellness and nutrition

Balanced, careful answers about antioxidants, caffeine, hydration, weight routines and digestion.

Does green tea contain antioxidants?
Green tea naturally contains plant compounds including catechins, a group of antioxidants. HI TEA positions its classic Green Tea as an easy daily antioxidant-focused beverage, not as a medicine or cure.
Can green tea help with weight management?
Green tea can fit into a balanced weight-management routine, especially when it replaces higher-calorie sugary beverages. It is not a standalone weight-loss treatment; food choices, activity, sleep, and overall habits remain more important.
Is green tea a detox drink?
Your body already has organs that perform detoxification. Green tea can be a light, hydrating beverage with antioxidants, so HI TEA uses �?odaily detox�?� as a wellness-routine idea rather than a claim that tea removes toxins or treats disease.
Does HI TEA have calories?
HI TEA is presented on the website as a sugar-free, zero-calorie green tea when prepared with plain water. Always check the flavour-specific nutrition panel because ingredients and serving information on the pack are the final reference.
Is HI TEA sugar-free?
HI TEA is presented as sugar-free on the brand website and is designed to be prepared with plain hot water. Customers should still review the exact ingredient and nutrition panel of their chosen flavour, especially if managing sugar intake.
Does green tea count toward hydration?
Brewed green tea is mostly water and can contribute to fluid intake. Because it may contain caffeine, it should complement-not completely replace-plain water throughout the day.
Does green tea contain caffeine?
Yes. Green tea naturally contains caffeine, although the amount varies with the leaf, blend, serving size, water temperature, and brewing time. Check the product pack and consider your total daily caffeine intake.
Does green tea have less caffeine than coffee?
A typical brewed green tea generally contains less caffeine than a typical brewed coffee, but exact amounts vary widely. People who are highly caffeine-sensitive should still monitor timing and serving frequency.
Can green tea support calm focus?
Green tea naturally contains caffeine and L-theanine, compounds often associated with alertness and a steadier tea experience. Individual responses vary, and green tea should not be presented as a treatment for attention, anxiety, or stress conditions.
Is green tea good after meals?
Many people enjoy green tea after meals for a lighter finish, but individual digestion and caffeine sensitivity differ. HI TEA Mint, Ginger, and Kashmiri Kahwa are the most relevant flavour-led options for after-meal moments.
What are the benefits of choosing a mint tea flavour?
Mint gives a cool, clean and refreshing taste that many people enjoy after meals or during warm afternoons. HI TEA Mint is positioned for digestion and refreshment moments, not as a treatment for any medical condition.
05

Is green tea right for me?

Pregnancy, medicines, iron, acidity, children, fasting and other questions that deserve responsible answers.

Can pregnant or breastfeeding women drink green tea?
Green tea contains caffeine, so pregnancy and breastfeeding require attention to total daily caffeine intake. Customers should ask their doctor for personalised advice, especially if they drink other caffeinated beverages or take supplements.
Can green tea interact with medicines?
Green tea and concentrated green tea extracts can interact with some medicines. Anyone taking regular medication-especially for heart, blood pressure, cholesterol, or other chronic conditions-should check with a healthcare professional.
Can green tea affect iron absorption?
Tea polyphenols may reduce absorption of non-heme iron when tea is consumed close to iron-rich meals or supplements. People with iron deficiency or anaemia should ask a healthcare professional about suitable timing.
Can green tea cause acidity or stomach discomfort?
Some people experience nausea, acidity, or stomach discomfort, particularly with strong tea or on an empty stomach. Try a milder brew after food and stop if discomfort continues.
Can I drink HI TEA on an empty stomach?
Some people tolerate green tea before food, while others find it causes nausea or acidity. If you have a sensitive stomach, enjoy HI TEA after a light meal or snack rather than first thing in the morning.
Can I drink green tea at night?
Because green tea naturally contains caffeine, evening use may affect sleep in caffeine-sensitive people. Choose an earlier evening time, a lighter second brew, or check the flavour label rather than assuming a green-tea blend is caffeine-free.
Is green tea suitable for children?
Green tea contains caffeine and is generally formulated for adult beverage routines. Parents should consult a paediatric healthcare professional before giving caffeinated tea regularly to children.
Can people with diabetes drink HI TEA?
Unsweetened green tea may fit many eating plans, but diabetes needs individual guidance and flavour-specific ingredient checks. Customers should rely on the nutrition label and their clinician rather than treating green tea as a blood-sugar remedy.
Can I drink HI TEA while fasting?
Whether HI TEA fits a fast depends on the type of fasting and the exact flavour ingredients. Review the nutrition panel and follow the rules of your medical, religious, or personal fasting plan.
Can HI TEA treat weight, sleep, digestion, skin, or heart conditions?
No. HI TEA is a food-and-beverage product designed around taste, convenience, and everyday wellness routines; it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Seek professional medical advice for symptoms or health conditions.
How many cups of green tea can I drink in a day?
There is no universal number because caffeine sensitivity, medicines, pregnancy, meals and personal health all matter. Many adults include one or two cups in a routine, but your total daily caffeine matters more than chasing a magic cup count. Ask a clinician when unsure.

Compare before you choose

Cup format versus tea bags, loose leaf, premixes and leading green tea brands.

How is HI TEA different from ordinary green tea bags?
A tea bag still needs a separate cup and usually a longer steep. HI TEA already contains the measured 1.7 g blend below its filter inside a 210 ml serving cup. Add hot water, swirl, sip, and keep your sink out of the story.
How is HI TEA different from loose-leaf green tea?
Loose leaf offers greater control and a traditional brewing experience but needs an infuser, teapot, or strainer. HI TEA prioritises consistency, portability, and speed for modern routines.
How is HI TEA different from an instant tea premix?
Many instant premixes dissolve completely and may contain sugar, milk solids or flavour powders depending on the product. HI TEA�?Ts measured tea blend stays below a filter and brews in the cup instead of simply disappearing into the water.
How does HI TEA compare with Cup-Ji green tea cups?
Both brands use a cup-based tea format built around convenience. Compare flavour range, ingredients, filter material, serving count, price per cup, current availability, and brand positioning; HI TEA emphasises premium Darjeeling green tea, nine mood-led flavours, a 10-second ritual, and two brews per cup.
How does HI TEA compare with Tetley green tea?
Tetley is a mass-market tea-bag brand strongly associated with detox and antioxidant messaging. HI TEA is differentiated by its pre-filled serving cup, no separate tea bag or mug, nine flavour-led moments, and travel-friendly preparation.
How does HI TEA compare with Lipton green tea?
Lipton offers widely available tea bags with classic and flavoured options. HI TEA focuses on a ready-to-use cup format that combines preparation and serving in one small cup, making it especially relevant for offices, travel, hotels, and events.
How does HI TEA compare with Organic India Tulsi Green Tea?
Organic India centres on certified organic herbs, Tulsi, and traditional wellness positioning in tea bags and loose formats. HI TEA centres on instant cup convenience, premium Darjeeling green tea, nine flavours, and a no-separate-mug ritual.
How does HI TEA compare with Twinings green tea?
Twinings competes through heritage, master blending, and a premium range of classic and flavoured tea bags. HI TEA competes through modern Indian convenience: a 210 ml pre-filled cup, 10-second preparation, and mood-led flavour discovery.
How does HI TEA compare with Vahdam or Tea Trunk green tea?
Vahdam and Tea Trunk emphasise origin, whole-leaf quality, gourmet blends, and traditional tea formats. HI TEA offers a different proposition-premium green tea made easier through a portable serving cup with no separate brewing tools.
How does HI TEA compare with Girnar Green Tea or Desi Kahwa?
Girnar is known for value-led tea bags, premixes, and Indian spice blends such as Desi Kahwa. HI TEA offers a ready serving cup, premium Darjeeling green tea, broader mood-led flavours, and a two-brew cup ritual.
Is HI TEA a bottled ready-to-drink tea?
No. HI TEA is dry until you add hot water. It is not a chilled bottled tea, bubble tea or cafe high-tea menu. It is a ready-to-use green tea cup that brews fresh when you want it.
Is HI TEA a tea powder brand?
People may search for �?oHI TEA powder,�?� but the product is better described as an instant green tea cup. Each cup contains a measured 1.7 g flavour blend below a filter; it brews with hot water rather than being scooped from a jar.
Which green tea brand is best in India?
There is no single best brand for everyone. Compare leaf origin, ingredient clarity, taste, format, caffeine comfort and how realistically you will prepare it. HI TEA is strongest for people who value speed, portability and a complete 210 ml cup instead of a separate tea bag and mug.
How is HI TEA different from bottled iced tea brands?
Bottled iced tea is manufactured as a ready-to-drink beverage and is usually served chilled. HI TEA stays dry until you add hot water, so the cup is prepared fresh when needed. Different shelf, different ritual, different mood.
09

Office, travel and business use

Pantries, hotels, cafés, events, gifting, sampling, wholesale and international opportunities.

Is HI TEA suitable for office desks and pantries?
Yes. HI TEA only needs hot water, so it suits office desks, meeting rooms, co-working spaces and pantries. It gives you a quick tea break without hunting for a mug, tea bag or infuser.
Can I carry and use HI TEA while travelling?
Yes. The ready-to-use cup format works well for bags, hotel rooms, trains, flights and road trips wherever safe hot water is available. Your travel tea kit is basically one cup and access to a kettle.
Can I carry HI TEA cups on a flight?
Sealed dry HI TEA cups are generally practical to pack in checked or cabin baggage, but airline and destination rules can differ. Do not carry hot liquid through security; prepare the cup after obtaining hot water in the permitted area.
Can hotels and guest rooms use HI TEA?
Yes. Hotels can place HI TEA in guest rooms, lounges, wellness areas or welcome kits. Guests get a complete tea setup in one cup, while staff avoid stocking a separate mug, tea bag and strainer for the same moment.
Can cafés serve HI TEA?
Yes. Cafés can use HI TEA as a quick green tea option where speed, consistency, flavour variety, and low equipment needs matter. Commercial terms and presentation should be discussed through the B2B team.
Is HI TEA suitable for events and conferences?
Yes. The individual cup format supports conferences, exhibitions, wellness events, gifting counters, and large tea breaks because service mainly requires hot water and organised flavour display.
Does HI TEA offer corporate gifting?
Yes. HI TEA works for employee gifts, festive hampers, client kits and event giveaways. Nine flavours make it easy to build a box that feels more thoughtful than another notebook nobody asked for.
Does HI TEA offer bulk or wholesale orders?
Yes. Bulk and wholesale enquiries are welcomed for offices, hotels, cafés, retailers, events, distributors, and corporate requirements. Contact lohiafoodsbeverages@gmail.com or +91 97024 44832 for commercial details.
Does HI TEA ship internationally for wholesale or collaboration?
Standard website shipping is currently focused on India, but international bulk, distribution, hospitality, and collaboration opportunities can be reviewed individually. Contact the team with destination, quantity, timeline, and business details.
Can businesses request HI TEA samples before a bulk order?
Business sampling may be considered depending on the organisation, quantity, location, and opportunity. Share your company details, intended use, expected volume, and preferred flavours with the HI TEA B2B team.
Is HI TEA made for modern India?
Very much so. It fits office desks, quick-commerce baskets, hotel rooms, trains, flights, college breaks, events and homes where the kettle is available but the full tea setup is not. Traditional tea love, modern-day timing.
Is HI TEA a Gen Z kind of tea?
It checks several Gen Z boxes: quick, portable, visual, flavour-led and easy to try without committing to a giant jar of leaves. No complicated brewing tutorial-though posting the cup is entirely optional.
Is HI TEA millennial-friendly or just desk d��cor?
It is built for the real calendar: calls, commutes, deadlines and the 4 p.m. �?oI need something�?� moment. The cup looks good on a desk, but its main job is still to make green tea in about 10 seconds.
Will Mum, Dad, Dada or Dadi understand how to use HI TEA?
Yes-the method is deliberately simple: open, add 10 ml hot water, swirl, top up and sip. No app, pod machine or complicated buttons. Taste and caffeine tolerance still vary, so everyone should choose the flavour and timing that suits them.

Buying, delivery and support

Where to buy, freshness, recycling, shipping, pickup, returns and customer service.

Where can I buy HI TEA instant green tea cups?
HI TEA can be ordered from the official website and selected online marketplaces and partner outlets. Flavour availability, pricing, delivery timelines, and offers may vary by platform and location.
Which HI TEA pack should I buy first?
Start with one box if you already know your preferred flavour, or choose a combination or mix-and-match offer if you want to compare several flavours. The Mood Calculator can help match taste and tea moment.
Why does HI TEA cost more per cup than some tea bags?
A HI TEA cup includes more than tea alone: a measured 1.7 g blend, non-woven cotton filter and ready 210 ml paper serving cup. You are paying for portability, consistency and fewer things to wash-not merely for a loose sachet.
How do I check HI TEA freshness and expiry?
Check the manufacturing, best-before, and batch information printed on the box or cup packaging. Do not use a cup if its seal is damaged, the product is exposed to moisture, or the aroma and appearance seem abnormal.
Is the HI TEA cup recyclable?
The serving cup is made from paper and is intended to be recyclable where local facilities accept used beverage cups. Empty it, keep it reasonably clean and follow your local recycling rules; recycling systems differ by city.
Is HI TEA more sustainable than using a tea bag and disposable cup separately?
HI TEA combines brewing and serving in one paper cup and removes the need for a separate conventional tea bag and another disposable cup. The real environmental result still depends on sourcing, transport and whether your local system can recycle beverage cups.
Do you ship HI TEA across India?
HI TEA currently ships to serviceable locations within India. Delivery availability and estimated timelines are confirmed at checkout using the customer�?Ts PIN code.
Can I collect my HI TEA order locally?
Local pickup may be available for orders booked through the HI TEA website. Wait for confirmation and pickup instructions from the team before visiting the designated location.
What is the HI TEA return policy?
Returns may be requested within 7 days of delivery. Damaged, defective, incorrect, or quality-issue products are reviewed for return, replacement, or refund; non-defective products must remain unused, unopened, sealed, untampered, and in original packaging.
How can I contact HI TEA customer service?
For product, order, delivery, return, refund, bulk, or collaboration support, email lohiafoodsbeverages@gmail.com or call +91 97024 44832. Keep your order number and relevant photos ready for faster assistance.
