Kräutertee-Blatt

Herbal Tea Leaf brings together caffeine-free infusions made from the leaves of herbs and plants rather than the tea plant Camellia sinensis. Leaf-based botanicals such as peppermint, lemon balm, nettle and rooibos each carry their own aroma and taste, from cooling and green to soft and grassy.

Because these are herbal infusions, none of them contain the caffeine found in black or green tea. The leaves are dried and cut for brewing, and most are enjoyed on their own as a single-ingredient cup or combined with other botanicals. The flavour of a leaf infusion depends on the plant, the growing region and how finely the leaf is cut.

Brewing leaf infusions

Most leaf herbs are brewed with freshly boiled water and left to steep for five to seven minutes. A longer steep draws out a fuller, more herbal character. They can be served hot or left to cool for an iced cup. Store the dried leaves in a sealed container away from light and moisture to keep the aroma fresh.

Frequently asked questions

Do herbal leaf infusions contain caffeine?

How long should I steep a leaf infusion?

Use freshly boiled water and steep for five to seven minutes. A longer steep gives a stronger, more herbal cup.

Can I blend different leaf herbs together?

How should I store dried leaf herbs?

Keep them in a sealed, airtight container away from light, heat and moisture to preserve their aroma.
