Tea Gems bring together tea and crystals with an innovative design that makes tea consumption easy. Taylor Half Baked aspires to "encourage tea drinkers and crystal lovers alike to enjoy tea in an unconventional yet exciting way."
Tea Gems are gluten-free, vegan, and biodegradable. Each gem is handcrafted and "is made of a sugar base surrounding edible flowers, dehydrated lemons or tea leaves, and a flavored tea bag" that dissolves in water.
Tea Gems come in a variety of flavors like Pumpkin Spice Chai (Snowflake Obsidian), Spiced Apple Cider (Sodalite Inspired), Toasted Coconut (Mariam Jasper Inspired), Peach N' Honey (Carnelian Inspired), Berry Hibiscus (Red Tigers Eye Inspired), Peppermint Tea (Hematite Inspired), Lemon & Ginger (Calcite Inspired), and Black Tea (Black Star Sapphire Inspired).
The gems can be purchased individually or in sets online.
