Caffeine Free
Tea Forté understands that some of our customers are sensitive to caffeine and would like to know the differences between the terms “decaffeinated tea” and “caffeine-free tea.” The word “decaffeinated” refers to teas that once contained caffeine and went through a process to remove it almost entirely. The phrase “caffeine-free,” on the other hand, refers to ingredients not related to Camellia Sinensis, the species of plant whose leaves and buds are used to produce tea. Herbal tea is caffeine-free, and some examples of the plants often used to create it include hibiscus, chamomile, and rooibos.
