| | There are a huge number of drinks called "tea". These fall into 3 main categories:
- Tea is any blend of leaves made solely from the tea bush (Camellia sinensis). These are generally described on this site as tea or green tea.
- Herbal Tea, or herbal infusions, are teas made solely from things that are not the tea bush. These are generally described on this site as "herbal tea".
- Other types of tea, which have no name but are generally a mixture of the two. These are generally described on this site as "tea with..." or "green tea with...".
It's worth noting that herbal teas tend to be caffeine-free, which is why it's worth making the distinction. Of course, we'll also tell you which teas contain caffeine and which do not. | |

However, fruit teas are flavoursome, good for you, and many are caffeine free. | Redbush tea (also traditionally called rooibos) originates from South Africa. It is know for its gentle sweet flavour, low caffeine and high antioxidant properties. Redbush can be enjoyed with or without milk. |

Green tea is believed to slowly increase the body's metabolic rate, making it a popular beverage for those who watch their weight. Green tea also contains a powerful antioxidant and free-radical scavenger known as polyphenols. | There are many delicious teas which are enjoyed for their health benefits, as well as their aromatic qualities. Some teas can relax and sleep better whilst others may ease the feeling of nausea and bloating. |
