FAQ

Did you know that tea doesn’t actually expire but loses its freshness over time? To keep your tea fresh, always store it in a cool, dry, and dark place, and ensure it’s well-sealed. To enjoy the best cup of tea, we recommend following these guidelines:

Teas and infusions with fruit and nuts: consume within 6 months of the purchase date.

Pure teas: consume within 12 months of the purchase date.

Natural flavors come from natural sources, such as essential oils, essences, or extracts. Artificial flavors are produced in a factory and do not involve any plants or fruits. They might taste similar but lack depth and nuance. We want to confidently drink our own tea and showcase the beauty of nature, which is why you’ll only find teas with natural ingredients in our selection.

Although we offer fantastic unflavored teas, we sometimes create a blend that contains flavorings. In fact, that’s the reason some of our favorite blends taste so delicious! Keep in mind that, no matter how strong the flavor is, the actual amount of flavoring in a brewed cup of tea is almost negligible — about 0.001%. But if flavorings aren’t your thing, you still have plenty of options. We have more than 40 unflavored blends like this one… and that number is always growing!

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.

Most of our teas contain little to no sugar, carbohydrates, or calories. When they do, it’s from 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 on the market, making them a healthier alternative. For more detailed information, check the “Ingredients” section for each tea.

While most of our teas do not contain gluten, they are not made in dedicated gluten-free facilities and are not certified gluten-free. Please carefully check the ingredient and allergen lists, and consult your healthcare provider if you are unsure.

And yes, we have a huge selection of vegan teas! Shop our vegan tea selection here.

Each tea’s product page includes a list of ingredients and mentions any major allergens. Please read everything carefully. If you have an allergy, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before consuming any of our teas.

Hoe wordt Oolong thee gemaakt?

Het productieproces van Oolong thee is een ambachtelijk proces, en bestaat uit verschillende stappen. De eerste stap in het productieproces is het plukken van de theebladeren. Alleen de bovenste bladeren en knoppen worden geplukt, omdat deze de hoogste kwaliteit hebben. 

Nadat de bladeren zijn geplukt, worden ze op een bamboe mat gelegd om te verflensen. Dit is een proces waarbij de bladeren worden blootgesteld aan warme, droge lucht om overtollig vocht te verwijderen en de bladeren zachter te maken voor verdere verwerking. 

De bladeren worden na het verflensen met de hand gerold. Bij het infuseren openen de blaadjes zich langzaam waardoor de verschillende smaken vrijkomen. Dit proces breekt de cellen in de bladeren en bevordert de oxidatie. De mate van oxidatie bepaalt de smaak van de thee. De oxidatie speelt een belangrijke rol bij het bepalen van de smaak en de kleur van de thee. Tot slot wordt de thee gedroogd. 

Waarom is Oolong thee zo bijzonder?

De complexe smaken en aroma’s maken oolong thee bijzonder. Door de gedeeltelijke oxidatie van de theebladeren krijgt Oolong thee een uniek karakter dat niet te vergelijken is met andere soorten thee. Bovendien bevat Oolong thee veel antioxidanten en andere voedingsstoffen die gunstig kunnen zijn voor de gezondheid. 

Laat de thee bij de eerste infusie niet te lang trekken en gebruik voor de tweede infusie iets heter water, je zult zien dat de bladeren verder openen. Hierdoor smaakt je thee dan ook net iets anders. Zo kun je de volledige smaak van Oolong thee optimaal benutten.
