How much caffeine is in tea?

Flavours vary from region to region, as does the caffeine content. The climate, soil, and rainfall all effect the caffeine levels in tea as it is a natural product harvested from the camellia sinensis plant. The level of caffeine in our loose leaf teas vary. Herbal tisanes such as our Pure Peppermint and Blue Lemongrass are caffeine free.Fully fermented black tea leaves which are the basis of all breakfast teas contain the highest amount of caffeine. Green tea has less caffeine, followed by white tea which contains a minimal amount of caffeine. While you will get a caffeine hit from your pot of tea, it is significantly less than you would from coffee.

How are specialty teas different from teas sold on masses?

Artisinal loose leaf teas are created in smaller batches and hand-picked from single estates. We know exactly where all our tea is grown, and who grows it. We want to be sure that each bag of tea we sell is doing good for the local community where our favourite tea plantations are.

Absolutely! Tea is made to be brewed and shared and it's the perfect gift for the novice or expert tea drinker in your life. If you're unsure of what kind of tea to gift - you could choose a gift card or flick us an email and we'll help you decide!

The story of Thieves' Tea -

'For as long as I can remember, my grandparents would come home from a day of picking, empty their pockets and make tea. We've always called it Vangedi Pekoe or Thieves' Tea.

We did it our own way, pounding it in our own vangedi, or moral, in a way that brought out the best in the tea. Our old managers may not have loved it, but we're happy to share with you our tea, prepared the way we've made it for generations.' - Sudumenika

Thieves' Tea is a popular choice to start the day, often enjoyed with milk.
