Discover Firebelly Tea, an exciting new tea brand made from natural ingredients with no additives or chemicals. It comes in sustainable, compostable packaging, sold only online. Now you can have premium teas delivered straight to your door.
Firebelly Tea may be a new player in the tea world, but the owner is not. David Segal is the co-founder of Firebelly Tea. And if the name sounds familiar to you, it's because Segal was also the co-founder of DavidsTea. Unlike DavidsTea, Firebelly Tea's delectability appeals to the refined tea drinker who wants to avoid added flavorings.
None of Firebelly Teas have any flavoring whatsoever. Firebelly only uses the highest quality ingredients. There is no additional flavoring, just the ingredients' flavor, which is evident when you taste the teas.
We never use flavorings in any of our tea blends - artificial, "natural," or otherwise - that are pervasive with most tea brands and contain a slew of unlisted preservatives."
David Segal
Segal's personal journey with tea began about fifteen years ago. When he started building DavidsTea, he recalls, "I had the privilege of meeting some incredible people in the tea industry, traveling to India, and Sri Lanka, learning about tea, seeing the process firsthand, and tasting some of the best teas in the world."
Segal left DavidsTea about 5 to 6 years ago and never planned to return. Of course, he remained a customer of tea, and tea remained a part of his life. But he missed the business of tea too much. He missed the people, missed the product, and missed tasting teas all the time.
Tea is incredible for energizing you, helping you destress, helping you detoxify...life gets so busy it allows you to take a few moments for yourself. It's become a huge part of my life".
David Segal
Firebelly Tea is about developing the teas he missed so much. It's about being able to produce the teas that he loves. Segal tasted thousands of teas in the past eighteen months while developing its first collection of twenty teas.
Segal sent me some of their products to try. He sent some of their blends, some of their straight teas, and some of their herbal teas.
I hope you love the products as much as I do. I'm really proud of Firebelly, and I want more people to discover the joy of tea that you and I know so well. I think there's a reason tea is as old as the hills. It really is that good. Especially really high-quality tea. And I love it. I know you do, and I hope we can introduce more people to it".

Popular Firebelly Teas
- Forest Fresh is a blend of black tea with cardamom and woodruff. It has a lovely sweet earthiness to it. Woodruff is an ancient medicinal known for its sleep-inducing properties.

- King Hong. It's a Tawainwese Hong Shui tea from last spring, one of the better oolongs that hit the market last year. From the famous Li Mountainside in Taiwan, it has a nice roastiness to it with some subtle fruity notes. Very good.

Promoting The Ritual of Tea
Firebelly Tea embraces the philosophy of tea. It is even promoting an afternoon tea ritual called 3:20.
The ritual is as follows: Every afternoon at 3:20, it's time to pause and make a cup of tea, shuttering the world for 20 minutes, and taking time for ourselves, so we may better be able to serve others.
It is much less formal than afternoon tea but promotes the same daily respite. Jagger's not the only one 'taking tea at three.'
Firebelly Tea manufactures and distributes organic tea with 24 natural flavors, seven tea-making accessories, and eight gift sets, from $15 for a lemon verbena loose leaf blend to $100 for a large teapot.
