FAQs
Where can I find a list of ingredients and more information about allergies?
The product page of each tea contains a list of ingredients and mentions the main allergens. Please read everything carefully. If you have an allergy, we recommend that you talk to your healthcare provider before consuming any of our teas.
Are your teas gluten free? Vegan?
While most of our teas do not contain gluten, they are not produced in dedicated gluten-free facilities and are not certified gluten-free. Please check the ingredient and allergen lists carefully, and consult your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
Do your teas contain sugar or calories?
Most of our teas contain little to no sugar, carbohydrates, or calories. When they do, it’s due to natural sugars (like in teas with pineapple), and always less than 5% of the sugar found in most fruit juices or other ready-to-drink beverages, making them a healthier alternative. For more detailed information, check the “Ingredients” section for each tea.
Do you offer caffeine-free tea?
Absolutely, you can find all our caffeine-free options on the “Caffeine-Free” page.
Does your tea contain flavorings?
While we offer great unflavored teas, we sometimes create a blend that does contain flavorings. In fact, that’s why some of our favorite blends taste so good! Keep in mind that no matter how strong the flavor, the actual amount of flavorings in a brewed cup of tea is virtually zero — about 0.001%.
But if flavorings aren't your thing, you still have a ton of options. We have over 40 unflavored blends like this one ... and counting!
What is the difference between natural and artificial flavors?
Natural flavors come from natural sources, such as essential oils, essences, or extracts. Artificial flavors are made in a factory, without the use of any plant or fruit. They may seem to taste the same, but they lack depth and nuance. We want to be able to drink our tea with confidence and show and taste the beauty of nature, which is why you'll only find teas with natural ingredients here.
How long will my tea stay fresh, and how should I store it?
Did you know tea doesn’t really expire but loses its freshness over time? To keep your tea fresh, always store it in a cool, dry, dark place, and ensure it’s well-sealed. To enjoy the best cup of tea, we recommend these guidelines:
• Teas and infusions with fruit and nuts: consume within 6 months of purchase.
• Pure teas: consume within 12 months of purchase.
Are there teas I should avoid if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
It’s best to always consult your healthcare provider. All our teas have detailed ingredient lists, so you’ll have the information you need to ask your provider if specific blends or ingredients are suitable for you.
How do I brew the perfect cup of tea?
You’re in the right place! Depending on the type of tea and ingredients, we recommend different steeping times and temperatures to ensure the flavors are just right. You can find our recommended steeping instructions on each tea’s product page.
How long does iced tea stay fresh in the fridge?
Iced tea should be consumed within 3 days.
Can I make iced tea with loose-leaf tea?
You’re in luck! All our teas are specifically designed to be safe for brewing in cold water.
