Loose Leaf Herbal Tea Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is herbal tea actually "tea"?
Not technically, true tea comes only from the Camellia sinensis plant, so herbal blends are more accurately called infusions or tisanes, made from dried flowers, herbs, spices or fruit. JING treats them with the same care as our teas, sourcing quality botanicals rather than treating them as an afterthought. Our journal explains this in more depth: what types of teas are herbal. -
Does herbal tea have caffeine?
No, herbal infusions are naturally caffeine-free, since they contain no Camellia sinensis leaf at all. This makes them a reliable choice at any time of day, including in the evening. To understand how this compares with true teas, see our caffeine-free tea collection and journal piece on what tea contains the most caffeine. -
What are the best herbal tea blends to try?
It depends on what you're after: peppermint for a bright, clean cup, chamomile for something softer and more calming, both classic, versatile choices. Look for whole botanicals rather than dust or fillers, whichever you choose. You'll find both among our bestselling styles in the loose leaf tea collection. -
Can you drink herbal tea before bed?
Yes, most herbal infusions, including chamomile and peppermint, are naturally caffeine-free, making them a natural choice in the evening. Because they aren't made from the tea plant, there's no need to worry about them disrupting sleep the way black or green tea can. Explore our full caffeine-free tea range for more evening options. -
Can I find organic herbal tea?
Yes, organic options exist across most herbal styles, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers and certified accordingly. As with any tea, organic status depends on the specific grower rather than the category as a whole.
