Teaballs are a practical solution for anyone who loves good tea but would rather not deal with tea bags, filters or loose leaves floating in the cup. These small pressed tea pellets dissolve in your glass within seconds – no bag, no steeping time. In this article you will learn everything you need to know about Teaballs – and why they are worth buying.
What are Teaballs and how do they work?
Teaballs are small, compressed tea pellets made from tea and plant extracts – pressed tea, not something you fill with leaves. You simply drop them straight into your glass or cup and pour water over them. Within seconds they dissolve completely and colour the water. No tea bag, no filter, no steeping time, no squeezing out – and nothing left over to throw away afterwards.
You decide the dosage yourself: 2 Teaballs are enough for a classic cup of tea, and for a large glass or a bubble tea you use 3 to 5. They work just as well hot with water at 80 to 95 °C as they do cold, straight into iced water – the same pellet becomes a hot drink one moment and an iced tea the next. A glass bottle with 150 Teaballs makes around 50 drinks or about 75 cups, depending on how you dose them.
Why buy Teaballs – the benefits
If you are thinking about buying Teaballs, there are several convincing reasons to do so. First, the choice: with us you will find classic tea varieties such as Green Tea and Earl Grey, herbal options like Mint and Hibiscus, plus a whole range of fruity variants – Apple, Orange, Strawberry, Raspberry, Cherry, Peach and Wildberry. You can even mix them and build your own combination, for example Raspberry with Mint.
Another major advantage is how environmentally friendly they are. Teaballs work entirely without tea bags and without filters and are 100 % plastic-free – there is simply no packaging waste left behind, because the tea dissolves completely in the water. And you do not have to weigh up the indulgence either: one drink comes to around 3 calories, with no added sugar at all.
Last but not least, handling them is extremely simple and fast. There is nothing to fill, nothing to clean and nothing to strain off – pellets into the glass, a short wait, done. That is especially practical on the go and at the office, and for bubble tea Teaballs make a particularly convenient tea base: just dissolve them, let them cool and combine them with tapioca pearls or fruit pearls.
What to look out for when buying Teaballs
When buying Teaballs, the flavour is what matters most. First think about what you want to use them for: for a classic tea moment, Green Tea and Earl Grey are ideal, and Earl Grey also works excellently as a milk tea when you use milk instead of water. For iced tea and as a bubble tea base you will want the fruity varieties, and if you are after something refreshing, Mint is the right call.
The second point is quantity. A glass bottle contains 150 Teaballs – enough for roughly 50 drinks at 3 pellets each, or around 75 cups at 2 pellets each. If you drink tea every day, that is a supply for several weeks; if you would rather ease into it, it is worth starting with two or three different varieties instead of one single large quantity.
Finally, it is worth a look at the ingredients list. With the Green Tea Teaballs, for instance, it says green tea extract, citric acid and sodium bicarbonate – nothing more, and in particular no hidden sugar. Also pay attention to whether you want caffeine or not: Green Tea and Earl Grey contain some, while the pure fruit varieties such as Apple are a gentler choice for the evening or for children.
