Taiwan Bitter Tea – Cycle Tea

Taiwan Bitter Tea (Cycle Tea) is a powerful additive used by experienced shrimp breeders. Its high saponin content helps clean the tank, supports cycling of new setups, and slowly releases beneficial minerals over time. It encourages biofilm growth, providing a natural grazing source for shrimp while helping establish a healthy tank ecosystem.

Key Benefits (When Used Correctly):

• Tank Cleaning – Saponins help break down organic buildup and reduce unwanted organisms.

• Supports Cycling – Boosts beneficial bacteria and prepares new tanks for livestock.

• Mineral Release – Slowly adds trace minerals to support shrimp health.

• Biofilm Stimulation – Encourages growth of micro-organisms shrimp feed on.

Usage Tips & Safety:

• Add 1 - 2 bags to a new tank, allow for foaming process to complete. 

• Only add livestock once tank is fully cycled. 
  
  

• Not intended for routine use in established tanks with fish or sensitive shrimp unless pre-soak methods are followed.

• Avoid overdosing — excessive saponin exposure can harm or kill aquatic life.
