Herbal tea FAQ
Are herbal teas caffeine-free?
Most are, because they contain no leaves from the tea plant. A few blends include green tea, yerba mate or other caffeinated ingredients, so check the ingredient list on each product page.
How do I brew herbal tea?
Use 1 to 2 teaspoons per 250 ml cup and freshly boiled water. Herbal teas need longer than true teas: steep 5 to 7 minutes, and up to 10 for roots, seeds and dried fruit.
Can I make iced tea with herbal blends?
Yes. Brew double strength, then pour over ice, or cold brew 2 to 3 teaspoons per 250 ml of cold water in the fridge for 8 to 12 hours. Fruity and hibiscus blends are especially good iced.
What is the difference between herbal tea and tisane?
Nothing: they are two names for the same thing. Strictly speaking, tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, so infusions of other plants are called tisanes or herbal infusions.
How do you drink herbal tea?
Drink it hot or iced, plain or with honey or lemon. Steep with boiling water for 5–7 minutes; a longer steep gives more flavour and won't turn bitter.
Can I drink herbal tea at night?
Yes. Most herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free, which makes them a popular choice in the evening. Check the ingredients of blends for green tea or yerba mate.
