What is herbal tea?
Herbal tea is essentially anything that doesn’t contain leaves from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. “Teas” that don’t contain tea leaves—from chamomile to peppermint to ginger—but are brewed into a tea-like beverage are also called a tisane or infusion.
Your Guide to Teatulia® Herbal Tea
HOW TO BREW
Teatulia White Tea can be brewed from loose leaf tea or convenient pyramid tea bags filled with whole leaf tea. For the perfect cup of hot tea (or glass of iced tea), follow these brewing instructions:
LOOSE LEAF TEA
Steep 2 grams (about 1 tablespoon) loose leaf tea in 8 oz. of just boiled water for 2 to 3 minutes.
For iced tea, steep 4 grams (about 2 tablespoons) in 8 oz. of just boiled water, then pour over ice.
PYRAMID TEA BAGS
Steep 1 pyramid bag in 8 oz. of just boiled water for 2 to 3 minutes.
For iced tea, steep 2 pyramid bags in 8 oz. of just boiled water, then pour over ice.
CAFFEINE CONTENT
The best part about herbal teas for a lot of people is that, for the most part, they are naturally 100% caffeine free. So they are the perfect alternative to black or green tea if you’re trying to avoid caffeine. And they make a soothing evening sip as you’re winding down your day. (The only exception to this in our line of herbal teas is Yerba Mate, which is one of the few herbs that naturally contains caffeine.)
