Our Chinese Breakfast black tea includes the flavorful golden tips of the tea leaves to create this gourmet Yunnan style of tea. It is malty and full-bodied with lingering floral notes. What distinguishes this tea from others is its perfect balance, tiger's eye color, and a vibrancy which makes it suitable for any time of day.
Black tea is rich in flavonoids, antioxidants that interact with and neutralize free radicals, thus preventing them from causing damage to tissues and cells in the body.
Theaflavins, a type of flavonoid, give black tea its dark color and may also help in lowering cholesterol levels and improving cardiovascular health.

Our teabags are compostable and made from manila hemp cellulose (plant fiber). They are Non-GMO Verified, unbleached, and the tag is made from 100% recycled materials and soy-based inks. Our tea strings are made from cotton.
Numi’s tea bag wrappers* are commercially compostable (ASTM D6868 compliant/3rd party certification in progress). They are made from sustainably grown FSC® certified paper, and lined with sugarcane-based Non-GMO PLA and metalized eucalyptus layers to ensure freshness. Our plant-based wrappers have been tested to make sure they completely disintegrate and cause no eco-toxicity when they break down. You can compost the wrappers with any municipal or industrial service that accepts green waste (throw them in your green can). Unfortunately, due to the compostable freshness lining, the wrappers are not recyclable.
*with the exception of some Gunpowder Green and Jasmine Green
We are asked all the time how many milligrams of caffeine are in a particular cup of tea, and the honest answer is: we don’t know for sure! The environment each year, location of the bush, processing style and method of steeping all has an effect on the amount in your cup. This is why we only provide a range. We use the lower, medium, and high caffeine labeling on our packages based on past tests and the proportion of tea to ingredients in each blend. A 6 to 8 ounce cup of tea generally contains between 15 and 70 milligrams of caffeine. Remember, 8 ounces of brewed coffee has a range of 95-200mg, so you can be sure that your cup of tea will always be lower in caffeine.
Climate Neutral Certified is the leading independent climate action label. It gives you a way to find companies that are actively working toward a net-zero future. Demand action from all companies, and help us make carbon accountability the new normal.
Carbon neutrality means achieving a balance between emitting carbon and absorbing carbon from the atmosphere.
Achieving carbon neutrality, or climate neutrality - which counts other greenhouse gases in addition to carbon dioxide - can help accelerate the world on its path to net-zero by 2050. That's the target year for getting all of human civilization to a point where our emissions have been reduced below the amount that is absorbed through natural and man-made carbon sinks.
People have been talking about climate change for decades and doing very little about it, so the issue is more important than ever. All of the recent science suggests that we're approaching a point of no return on climate change - and political, economic, and social systems are not responding quickly enough. Humanity's decisions in the next 10 years will determine, more than ever before, how our climate changes and the extent of its impacts over the next century and beyond.
Although our brand has a new look, our ingredients, blends and recipes have not changed.

"The first time I ordered this tea it was amazing and I would have given it 5 stars. So I reordered, which was difficult because it was sold out for some time. I was finally able to order, so I ordered the 100 count. I am sad that this batch is not up to the same quality that I loved in my first order."
"Bought for my son, he is either a matcha or black tea person in the morning, I found this one first at a Jimbos in San Diego, not all stores carry this one. He loves it so now I’ll just order it online."
"My order arrived faster than expected. The Chinese Breakfast and Gunpowder Green teas are wonderful."
"Excellent tea. Please don't ever change a thing! Thanks"
"While it doesn’t taste like my favorite English breakfast tea, now that I’ve been using it, I don’t miss the other, which is not as safely produced or packaged as Numi Chinese Breakfast. When I heard about the poor quality and poir harvest and production practices of most black teas, not to mention the presence of plastic in most tea bag wrappers, I was horrified. I’m grateful to have found a healthy alternative for a product I use every day, so even on a tight budget it is worth it."
"Wish Numi carry the bulk (100counts). If the companh really cares about carbon foot-print, they should have it again so we eliminate small boxes."
"I actually purchased this Chinese Breakfast tea by mistake. I was trying to buy the Breakfast Blend and didn't realize I had the wrong one until I received my order. Rather than return it I decided to try it instead. To my delight I enjoyed it. I still prefer the Breakfast Blend, but I will add the Chinese Breakfast to my next order as well. It turned out well. Added a new flavor."
"Excellent flavor!"
"This is a smooth black tea. Enjoy it in the mornings and I get no gitters from it"
"Delicious!"
