  • This is a serious reason you should stop drinking readymade powdered iced tea mixes ..

SUGAR

Other Brands (Powdered Ice Tea Mix) on average contains 75.4 per 100 gms sugar (And please note this is added sugar)

Teabox summer blends contain 24.69/0.708/34.84 per 100 gms sugar (naturally occuring sugar in fruits & spices)

Vanilla Grape Tisane- 3X Less Sugar (75.4 / 24.69)
Mint Jamun Tisane- 106X Less Sugar (75.4 / 0.708)
Kokum Hibiscus Tisanes- 2X Less Sugar (75.4 / 34.84)

It is the need of the hour. It is paramount that we focus on our health instead of reaching out for convenience & short fixes.

P.S. We have just launched all natural 100% caffeine free iced teas for summer that can be sipped any time of the day. Link is in the bio.

  • Drumroll 🥁 The wait is over!

We are delighted to launch our collection of Summer Blends 2022🍹

Presenting:
Kokum Hibiscus Tisane
Mint Jamun Tisane
Vanilla Grape Tisane

Originating in the 16th century, sharbats are an integral part of Indian summers. History chronicles stories of emperors who would send for frequent batches of ice from the Himalayas to make cool refreshing drinks. Popularly grown in the Western Ghats, cherry tomato is widely used to make sumptuous kokum sharbats. The significance of the Malabar plum dates back to the Vedic period and is even mentioned in the Mahabharat.

Our Master Blenders have taken inspiration from age-old recipes and created a tisane for all moments under the summer sun.

Now Steeping - Summer Blends 2022
Made with real fruits. 100% Caffeine-free.

  • Meet our Mompreneur
Aparna Nadig @rasaandco

"When we were blessed with a second child, I decided to take a hiatus from the hamster wheel of juggling a corporate career and caring for my little humans. I was on a quest to provide them with the holistic development of their minds and body, with wholesome nutrition. Through word of mouth, I started receiving orders and thus was born Rasa & Co."

Meet our Mompreneur
Harshita Das @thebubbleroom.in

"I started my dream studio The Bubble Room and almost at the same time realized we are going to have a baby. The journey hasn't been that easy but when a participant appreciates the workshop or my son gives me a cup of pretend tea after a tiring day, it's worth the struggle."

Meet our Mompreneur
Rohini Deepti Natti @rohinis.kitki

"Today, I am living my dream of working from home while raising a happy 5-year-old. Also finding time to share all my Idli art, DIYs, experiences and so much more with this amazing mom community across the world. Not as easy as it sounds of course. I am enjoying every bit of this hustle life."

INSPIRE. SIP. PAUSE. REPEAT.

  • Why do mothers make their everyday look easy when it's clearly not? Why are they best at multitasking? We don't know the secret but we know that we are inspired by these phenomenal and trailblazing mompreneurs. And we are celebrating them this Mothers Day (a little early today though :))

Niharika Verma @bonorganik @bonkids_club

"When someone asks me how I balance, I can only think of one thing: that I love my work enough to keep running against the winds! Miles to go still, this has been a heck of a journey but it has made me a better entrepreneur who understands the pulse of the kids and a mother who can exemplify to her daughter that anything is possible if you set your mind on it!"

Anupama Jalan  @potterybyaj

"Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create. I run a small studio in Kolkata where we passionately create tableware, the concept being - art on your table. I have been in the family business (Doomni Tea Estate). To play the role of a mother and an entrepreneur was tough to start with but when you prioritize what’s important at hand, the balance happens naturally."

Ambika Singal @mommy.montessori

"I founded @mommy.montessori to help parents learn about the Montessori method for optimal child development, specifically from 0-6 years. I believe that every child has the ability to reach her/his true potential and we, as parents/caregivers and educators can help them achieve this if we have the correct knowledge and I want to help you gain just that."

INSPIRE. SIP. PAUSE. REPEAT.
