        Green Teas Boasting with health benefits, green tea is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients beneficial to the body. With a large selection of classic green teas, mate, matcha, and more, green teas can be enjoyed hot or iced
        Herbal Teas Caffeine-free and in its most natural form, herbal teas are made from the infusion of herbs, spices, and organic fruits. From classic herbal to fruity and naturally-flavored, herbal teas have a lot to offer.
        Oolong Teas With its distinct flavor oolong teas are semi-oxidized Chinese tea produced through a time-consuming process and in result creates a more complex flavor than Green or White teas, with very smooth, soft astringency and rich in floral or fruity flavors. Oolongs are ideal for those new to tea drinking.
        White Teas Essentially unprocessed tea with a delicate flavor and aroma, white teas are the purest, grown only in the Fujian Province. Low in caffeine, enjoy white teas hot or iced.
        Pu-erh Teas Pronounced "Poo-erh," very old, well-stored pu’erh’s are considered "living teas," just like wine. They are prized for their earthy, woodsy or musty aroma and rich, smooth taste.
        Caffeine Free Teas To eliminate caffeine intake completely, one must switch to herbal tea. Herbal infusions, such as Chamomile, Rooibos and Peppermint, are made from botanicals not related to Camellia sinensis, and they are naturally caffeine free.
        Iced Teas Great iced teas can be made from Black, Oolong, Green, White and even Pu’erh tea blends. Skip the artificial beverages and enjoy the simple, pure, quality of iced tea.
        Matcha Teas Matcha tea powder is ground from fine Japanese green tea leaves and is typically used in Japanese tea ceremonies. Our matchas vary from high-grade to culinary grade. When drinking matcha, you ingest the entire green tea leaf and receive 100% of its nutrients.

The sprout pencil is the first plantable sustainable pencil in the world. It's perfect for making your own garden as the eraser has been replaced with a seed capsule. Pencils are made of natural materials (sustainable cedar wood and a clay & graphite core) and are available with one of five types of high-quality non-GMO seeds: basil, cilantro, mint, sage, or thyme.

Usage Instructions:
Plant after use. When pencil is too short for writing, press the green end into the soil, covering only the capsule. Water immediately to activate the seed capsule and continue to water daily; enough to keep the soil moist. Plants typically take about 1-3 weeks to germinate.

Additional Tips:
  • Use a good soil (starter mix) or coco coir as growth substrate.
  • When selecting a flower pot, make sure to choose one with drainage holes.
  • Plant the pencil crooked (allows the plant to grow straight up) and make sure it is only in the soil deep enough to cover the capsule.
  • Eventually, place a clear plastic bag with the corners cut off, over the flower pot to increase humidity and ease germination (remove it when the seeds have germinated).
  • Water daily by filling the saucer up with water and waiting 10 mins. Add more water if it's all soaked up. Repeat until soil is saturated then discard remaining water.
  • Allow seeds to receive a little sunshine at a time. Once growth is showing, the plant should be placed somewhere sunny.
