Numi Organic Maté Lemon Tea — 100 Compostable Bags, Energizing Citrus Green Mate

Numi Organic Maté Lemon is a bright, citrus-forward yerba mate and green tea blend in 100 compostable tea bags for a smooth, energizing cup.

Numi pairs hand‑picked Brazilian yerba mate with Australian lemon myrtle and green tea to create a lemony, earthy infusion that’s robust enough to serve as a coffee alternative. The blend emphasizes fuller leaves for a gentler, less astringent steep, and every bag and wrapper is designed to meet high sustainability standards—USDA Organic, Fair Trade, BPI Certified Biodegradable, and supplier-verified free of added plastics or microplastics.

How does this tea deliver energy without coffee’s bitterness?

The blend uses higher‑grade yerba mate and green tea leaves that release caffeine with smoother, more balanced flavors than many instant or finely broken tea bag fannings. Lemon myrtle adds bright citrus notes that mask harsh tannins.

• Yerba mate from Parana, Brazil provides steady natural caffeine.
• Hand‑plucked larger leaves steep slowly for a rounder taste.
• Green tea adds lift without overpowering bitterness.
• Lemon myrtle brightens the cup for a refreshing finish.

What makes the packaging and tea bags eco-conscious?

Numi designs each component to reduce plastic and support composting pipelines. Bags are made from manila hemp (Abacá) fiber and sealed mechanically rather than with plastic heat seals, while the outer wrappers are plant‑based and commercially compostable.

• BPI Certified Biodegradable tea bags and verified microplastic‑free manufacturing.
• Plant‑based, compostable outer wrappers from FSC paper and non‑GMO sugarcane.
• Supplier verification ensures no added polypropylene touches your cup.
• Fair Trade and organic sourcing supports ethical production practices.

How should I brew it for best flavor, hot or iced?

Steep the tea 3–5 minutes in freshly boiled water for a full, bright cup; shorten the time slightly for a milder hot brew or use the longer end for iced preparations. The blend holds up well to cooling, so it stays flavorful over ice without becoming flat.

• Hot: 3–5 minutes in boiling water for a balanced, bright cup.
• Iced: Brew hot at the longer end, then pour over ice to retain brightness.
• Adjust steep time to control strength and tannin presence.
• Use one tea bag per 8–12 oz; double up for a stronger cup.

Where does the yerba mate come from and why does it matter?

The yerba mate is sourced from Parana, Brazil, where farmers plant mate as an alternative to cattle ranching and destructive monocultures. That approach helps preserve local forest habitat, supports biodiversity, and provides better wages for growers.

• Parana supply chains favor agroforestry and conservation practices.
• Shifting away from monocrops reduces habitat loss and carbon release.
• Fair Trade certification helps ensure fairer pay and community benefits.
• Hand‑picked leaves promote better flavor and less processing waste.

Who is this for: Numi Organic Maté Lemon is ideal for tea drinkers seeking a bright, lemony alternative to coffee with conscientious sourcing and low environmental impact. It suits morning routines, mid‑day boosts, and iced preparations for warm weather—especially for shoppers who prioritize organic certification, fair trade sourcing, and plastic‑free packaging.
