Cup of Sea takes a different approach to handcrafted teas with its seaweed teas that contain 60 vital minerals, plus vitamins, omega oil, essential amino acids, anti-inflammatories and antioxidants. Made with wild-harvested seaweed from the Gulf of Maine, these teas are blended with other beneficial ingredients in small batches.
Fans of green tea will be drawn to flavors like Great Wave (green tea and kelp) which is said to have "a hint of umami and a light minerality." With Bold Coast Breakfast, breakfast tea is reinvented by combining black tea and kelp—with no to low seaweed taste.
Cup of Sea also offers seaweed teas in other unique and hearty varieties like Sea Smoke (lapsang souchong tea and dulse) and Emerald Honeybush (honeybush and sea lettuce.)
