Frequently Asked Questions
Teas are labelled 'caffeine-free' when none of their ingredients contain caffeine.
Coffee and tea plants naturally produce caffeine, and so a coffee or tea made with these plants will contain some degree of caffeine. Even a decaffeination process won't remove every molecule. By contrast, the herbs and fruits that you will find making up a good herbal tea (or, more properly, 'tisane') do not contain caffeine. Neither do the rooibos or honeybush plant. These are the products that we label 'caffeine-free': they only get this label if they naturally do not contain caffeine.
Looking for some pointers? Here's where we start:
-
Start with boiling water —100°C (approximately 212°F). Don't burn yourself!
-
Use about one teaspoon (or one teabag, if you're using them) for every 8oz (approximately 1 cup or 225ml) of water. You can always add more of your tisane or less water if you like it stronger.
-
Steep. If your blend involves anything that might become overpowering after a long infusion, try tasting as you go until you feel it's enough. Otherwise, after 4 to 6 minutes, take your tisane out. This is the time to add milk or sugar, if you want.
-
Once your tisane is cool enough to drink, drink up!
