Herbal Tea

General Information

Despite their name, herbal teas are not real teas. True teas, such as green tea, black tea, and oolong tea, are manufactured from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. On the other hand, herbal teas are made with dried fruits, flowers, spices, or herbs.

Each tea bag contains a medley of pink rosebuds, yellow rosebuds, linden flowers, Marshmallow flowers, orange blossoms, dried lime, chamomile flowers, borage, Melissa flowers, lavender, quince and hibiscus.

All of the teas in our Herbal Tea Collection are caffeine-free. You can enjoy our teas any time of the day or night, as they won’t keep you awake into the late hours.

 

Best Ways to Use Herbal tea

Place tea bag in cup or teapot. Use one teabag per person. Using fresh boiling water, recommended infusion time is for 3- 5 minutes.

Here are some general Herbal tea brewing guidelines to consider:

• Use filtered water that is fresh, clean, and cold.
• Herbal tea is usually brewed in short infusions at 160 to 180 degrees.
• Don’t let your tea get too hot! If the water is too hot, particularly for Herbal tea, the bitterness and astringency of your tea will be released more quickly.
• If you don’t have a temperature-controlled electric kettle, just let your boiling water rest before pouring over your herbal tea blankets.
• It depends on tea, but it is safe to bet with around 2g of leaf tea for 8 oz.
• Cover the steep tea in the steeping vessel to maintain all the heat.
• The majority of high-quality loose-leaf teas can be steeped many times.
•  Is it better to milk or not to milk? If you like to season your herbal tea, you can add milk (and even sugar). However, keep in mind that the taste of Herbal tea is usually very light, and you can cover it by adding milk or sugar, which will also add calories.

 

Storage

Herbal Tea comes in a variety of packages, including whole tea leaves and tea bags.

Herbal Tea should be consumed within six to twelve months of purchase. It should also be kept in a cold, dry place, away from the sun, dampness, and scented pantry companions such as coffee or spices.

Tea absorbs the aroma of anything close, which is why we still recommend keeping your loose-leaf tea away from strong odours. This may mean that storing loose-leaf tea in a kitchen cabinet, particularly spice cabinets and pantries, is not the ideal solution.
