Product + Process

We were driven by a true and abiding passion for tea to create a more accessible way to enjoy it without losing any of the flavor or quality. After a painstaking process of trial and error, minute adjustments and experimentation, we now have it down to a science.

Our product is the only one out there that dissolves immediately and completely, retains essentially all of the original flavor, and contains no added flavors or sweeteners.

Meet Gregory Glancy

Greg began his tea journey in 2007 with the founding of Norbu Tea Company, which focused on sourcing the most unique and high quality teas from all over Asia.

During one of his many overseas sourcing trips, a friend gave him some “Cha Gao” – a traditional Chinese concentrated tea paste designed for convenient brewing, but lacking in its ability to capture tea’s delicate nuances.

Inspired by this Cha Gao, Greg’s relentless experimentation over six years has resulted in an innovative process that redefines the concept of “portable tea” – marrying convenience with unparalleled quality. This patented process not only solved his personal tea dilemma, but has laid the foundation for a new chapter in the tea industry.
