Q: What is a Tea globe?
A: A Tea globe is a hollow sugar globe that contains food grade glitter, flowers or dried fruits and herbs, and tea bag inside.

Q: What if the Tea globe doesn't dissolve all the way?
A: You can add more hot water to your cup and give it a few more minutes to dissolve. Make sure your water is hot enough for the sugar too dissolve.
Q: There's sugar stuck to the bottom of my cup what do I do to get it off?
