LOOSE LEAF TEA
Not everyone wants coffee at 2100. ARC's loose leaf teas are sourced and named for veterans, first responders, and anyone who takes their downtime as seriously as their work. Chai, green, black, and earl grey — steeped with the same attention we put in every bag of coffee.
FAQ
What is veteran-owned loose leaf tea?
Veteran-owned loose leaf tea is premium tea sourced, named, and sold by veteran-operated businesses. ARC's loose leaf tea lineup is designed by a 20-year Army vet in Charlottesville, Virginia — the same mission-first approach we bring to our coffee.
What types of loose leaf tea does Aerial Resupply Coffee carry?
The current lineup includes Caravan Masala Chai, DD-24 Black Tea, Greyhawk Earl Grey, R&R Jasmine Green Tea, Rescue Gunpowder Green Tea, and Reveille New York Breakfast Tea.
How does ARC's veteran-owned tea compare to other military tea brands?
Most veteran tea brands are tea-only operations. ARC is a veteran-owned roastery that also produces premium loose leaf tea — meaning the same small-batch, mission-first standards we apply to coffee apply here. No wellness-brand aesthetics. No generic camo packaging.
How do I brew ARC loose leaf tea?
One teaspoon per 8 ounces of water. Black teas at full boil (212°F), green teas around 175°F to avoid bitterness. Steep 3–5 minutes depending on strength. Use a strainer or infuser. No bag needed.
Is ARC loose leaf tea good for veterans with caffeine sensitivity?
Yes. Green and herbal teas naturally contain less caffeine than coffee or black tea. R&R Jasmine Green and Rescue Gunpowder Green are solid options for veterans dialing back caffeine without giving up the ritual.
Is your tea packaging eco-friendly?
Yes. All teas are packaged in eco-friendly rice-paper stand-up pouches with resealable zippers.
