Refers to the extent and rate at which nutrients, compounds, or active ingredients (such as antioxidants in tea) are absorbed into the bloodstream and used by the body. High bioavailability means more of the beneficial compounds are accessible, enhancing potential health effects.

Nora is a co-founder of Moody Teas. She runs brand, marketing, and creative direction. She's queer. Tea started with her mom: English breakfast, most days, growing up. She never got formal tea training — it barely exists as a credential anyway. Before Moody Teas, she went through art school, then a decade in food service. She started behind the counter, moved into managing quick-service locations, then consulted on new restaurant openings. She and John started Moody Teas in 2019. She's disabled and neurodivergent, and lives with chronic illness. That shapes how Moody Teas approaches accessibility. Spot her at the market stand by whatever color her hair is that month.
