Not green tea. Not kombucha.
Dark tea is a fermented tea category America is just beginning to discover.
Dark tea is a post-fermented tea from Anhua County in Hunan Province, China. It is known for its deep amber color, smooth body, and unique Golden Flower fermentation.
For centuries, dark tea has been consumed as a daily tea ritual. We are introducing it to the U.S. in a form that matches the way people drink now: fast, clean, portable, and functional.

FAQ
Simple answers for a new tea category.
Is dark tea the same as black tea?
No. In Chinese tea categories, “dark tea” refers to post-fermented tea. It is different from what U.S. consumers usually call black tea.
Is it like kombucha?
It shares a fermented beverage story, but it is tea — not a carbonated, refrigerated, sugar-forward bottled drink.
Does it have caffeine?
Dark tea naturally contains caffeine. The exact level should be confirmed by lab testing for the final product and posted before ecommerce launch.
Can I drink it cold?
Yes. The instant powder platform is designed to dissolve in hot or cold water in seconds, whether it is packed for single-serve use, foodservice, or commercial production.
