The Complete Guide to Herbal & Fruit Teas

Herbal and fruit teas are the most approachable teas of all — caffeine-free, naturally flavourful and endlessly varied. Whether you want something calming for the evening or bright and fruity in the afternoon, there is a blend for the moment. This guide explains what they are and how to choose.

Not technically ‘tea’ — and that’s the point

True tea comes from the tea plant and contains caffeine. Herbal and fruit teas, more accurately called infusions or tisanes, are made from herbs, flowers, spices and fruit instead. That means they are naturally caffeine-free, so you can enjoy them from morning to bedtime without a second thought.

A blend for every moment

For calm evenings, chamomile is the timeless choice — soft, floral and soothing. Mint and anise are light and refreshing, a lovely way to round off a meal in the Levantine tradition. Hibiscus is tangy and ruby-red, delicious hot or iced. And fruit blends like pomegranate & berries or forest fruit are naturally sweet, making them an easy favourite for the whole family.

How to brew them well

Herbal and fruit infusions are forgiving. Use freshly boiled water and steep a little longer than you would green tea — around five minutes — to draw out the full flavour and colour. There is no bitterness to worry about, so you can let them sit. Cover the cup while steeping to keep the aromas in.
