Herbal teas (also known as tisanes) are infusions made from botanicals - think flowers, herbs, roots and spices — not from the Camellia sinensis plant. This means they’re naturally caffeine-free, making herbal teas ideal for all-day sipping, especially when you’re looking for something soothing, flavourful and gentle on the body.
From calming chamomile to refreshing peppermint and spicy ginger, each herbal tea offers its own mood and benefit. Steep with freshly boiled water for 4–5 minutes and enjoy hot, cold or iced - no caffeine, just full sensory comfort.
Unveiling the art of crafting herbal tea: from harvest to packaging
The intricate steps involved in creating the perfect cup of herbal tea comprise the meticulous process that brings together nature's finest offerings:
- Harvesting and selection - The process of making herbal tea begins with carefully selecting and harvesting the desired herbs, flowers, spices and botanicals. These ingredients are chosen based on their quality and flavour profiles.
- Drying and processing - After harvesting, the herbs and botanicals are carefully dried to remove moisture and preserve their natural properties. This can be done through air drying, sun drying or using specialised drying equipment. Once dried, the herbs may be gently processed, such as crushing or cutting, to enhance the release of their essential oils and flavours.
- Blending - The dried and processed herbs and botanicals are skilfully blended in specific proportions to create unique and harmonious tea blends. Blending allows for the creation of balanced flavours and aroma profiles, ensuring a delightful and satisfying tea experience.
- Quality control - Throughout the process, stringent measures are in place to ensure our herbal tea's purity, freshness and safety. This includes testing the raw materials, monitoring the production process and conducting sensory evaluations to maintain consistent quality standards.
- Packaging - Once the herbal tea blends are crafted, they are carefully packed to preserve their freshness and integrity. At T2, we prioritise sustainable packaging solutions. Our products are packaged in reusable, recyclable or compostable materials, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability.
- Labelling and information - Each herbal tea package is labelled with important information, including the blend's name, brewing instructions, ingredients list and any relevant certifications or accreditations. This ensures that consumers can access the necessary details to make informed choices about their tea selection.
- Storage and distribution - The packaged herbal teas are stored in controlled environments to maintain their quality and freshness. They are then distributed to T2 stores or shipped to customers, ensuring that tea enthusiasts can enjoy their favourite blends confidently and conveniently.

Does herbal tea contain caffeine?
Generally, herbal tea does not contain caffeine. Since herbal teas are made from plant materials other than Camellia sinensis (the tea plant), they do not naturally contain caffeine. This makes herbal tea popular for individuals who want to avoid or reduce their caffeine intake.
