PIQUE Tea Crystals - Tea without Toxic Tea Bags

  • NicoleDeRosa

  • 4 min read

Many tea bags are made with plastic-based materials that can release harmful microplastics + chemicals when steeped in hot water. *Research has shown that a single plastic tea bag can shed billions of microscopic plastic particles into a cup of tea, which may then be ingested. These plastics can carry toxic additives + act as vehicles for other pollutants, raising concerns about long-term health effects.


If you know me, you know I’m serious about my tea. Not just for the ritual, but for how it actually makes me feel. Focused, calm, energized + a little more put-together on busy days. That’s why I’m such a fan of Pique Tea Crystals.


Pique is a wellness-oriented tea + beverage brand known for its cold-extracted tea crystals designed to dissolve easily without steeping. What I love about them is that their products emphasize organic ingredients, purity testing (triple toxin screening) + convenience. Below, I’m sharing my favorite Pique products, the ones I reach for on repeat + exactly why each one has earned a permanent spot in my routine.


• VEGAN • ORGANIC • NON-GMO • GLUTEN FREE • SUGAR FREE •

Black, Green + Herbal Teas + Japanese crafted Matcha Tea with extra L-theanine + more.



BENEFITS MAY INCLUDE


• Better Sleep • Better Digestion • Better Skin • More Focus • Increased Cognitive Performance • Lower Cancer Risk • Weight Loss Support • Boosted Immunity • Less Stress



WHY PIQUE IS SUPERIOR


  • Antioxidants + health promoting compounds in their tea.

  • Sourced from the most biodiverse + ecological destinations around the world, from Japan, Italy + China.

  • Prizing quality + artisanship, Pique has deep relationships with multi-generational farmers, tea-masters, traditional medicine doctors + ingredient scientists.

  • Fans include: Dr. Mark Hyman + Dr. Will Cole.

Pique Tea Crystals’ B•T Fountain is a standout beauty electrolyte that genuinely delivers on hydration + glow. Designed to support skin elasticity + deep hydration, it’s packed with thoughtful, skin-loving ingredients like ceramides from non-GMO wheat extract, vegan hyaluronic acid optimized for absorption + a full spectrum of bioavailable electrolytes to help recharge your cells. The refreshing Yuzu Berry flavor makes it a joy to drink + I love that it contains no added sugar, preservatives, or artificial flavoring. It feels like a simple daily ritual that supports your body from the inside out, because when you care for your body, mind + soul, your most authentic beauty naturally shines.







Pique’s Daily Radiance is a beautiful reminder that skincare is more than what you put on your face, it’s about what you nourish your body with + how you feel day to day.


Supporting clear skin + healthy collagen production from the inside out, this formula features liposomal Vitamin C for enhanced absorption, paired with antioxidant-rich black European elderberries.


Together, they help support radiant skin, healthy aging + a strong immune system, especially important when skin is under stress. It feels like a daily glow ritual that works beneath the surface, because true radiance starts from within.


This is my favorite product to travel with because my immune system + skin take a hit every time I travel. This is prefect because it supports both.




(Longevity Coffee Alternative)




Nandaka - Adaptogenic Coffee Alternative is a high-end coffee alternative designed for people who want the ritual + energy boost of coffee without the typical jitters or crash. It blends ceremonial-grade Peruvian cacao with fermented Pu’er teas + a potent mix of functional mushrooms like reishi, lion’s mane, cordyceps + chaga, all aimed at supporting calm, sustained energy, mood, metabolism + immune health.


The formula is organic, vegan, non-GMO + free from added sugar + artificial ingredients.


The taste is rich, smooth + full-bodied with earthy cacao notes + hints of fruit + spice. It offers a gentle but steady lift without the caffeine spikes associated with coffee.


I notice an enhanced focus + better digestion. I will say that some note a mild “mushroomy” undertone that may need masking with creamer for some palates. It’s a pricier switch from traditional coffee, but for those seeking a functional, health-focused alternative with adaptogenic benefits + calm, balanced energy, Nandaka delivers.








Sun Goddess Matcha (Ceremonial-Grade Matcha) from Pique is a premium, ceremonial-grade matcha green tea sourced from Kagoshima, Japan, known for its rich matcha tradition. It’s USDA-certified organic + screened for pesticides + toxins, with a focus on maximizing phytonutrients like L-theanine + catechins that support calm energy, metabolism + antioxidant activity.


They come in individual packets, so they're perfect for stashing in your bag if you're traveling. I always have one in my purse. It saves me so much time (no standing on lines) + has saved me so much money.

Taste-wise, this matcha delivers a smooth umami profile with a fresh, creamy richness that’s milder + less bitter than many other matcha powders, making it enjoyable straight with hot or cold water or as a latte base. I love that it dissolves easily + how it offers a balanced, sustained lift thanks to the L-theanine enhanced caffeine, without the sharp crash typical of coffee. Sun Goddess Matcha is an accessible, high-quality matcha choice for both newcomers + regular drinkers alike.








Pique has several caffeine-free teas available. They are clean, refreshing + easy to drink both hot + cold. I love the mint + rooibos options because they have a pleasant flavor without bitterness. The hibiscus blend also receives high marks from me for its vibrant taste. One of the biggest selling points (again) is convenience: the tea crystals dissolve instantly with no steeping required, which appeals to people (like myself) on the go or those who want a hassle-free herbal tea. I enjoy these teas any time of day because they’re caffeine-free + light, so it helps me stay hydrated throughout the day.


Below are most of Pique's Caffeine Free options:


Herbal Elixirs (14 packets/carton):


  • Hibiscus Beauty Elixir

  • Rooibos Vitality Elixir

  • Ginger Digestion Elixir

  • Mint Herbal Tea

  • Electric Turmeric


TCM Elixirs (28 packets/carton):
