Raspberry tea and caffeine

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

None of our fruit teas are caffeine free including raspberry tea. I have outlined for you some scientific information directly relating to tea used by Australian Fruit Tea as it relates to caffeine.

The smaller the leaf – the stronger the extraction of caffeine. A tea bag filled with cut tea and dust will release nearly twice as much caffeine per cup as a whole leaf tea. Australian Fruit Tea only uses whole leaf tea which is grown without pesticides or herbicides. Additionally, the shorter the brewing time the less caffeine ends up in your cup. Our fruit teas should not be brewed so caffeine ending up in your cup will be very minimal. Please make your Raspberry tea strictly as instructed on the packet and you will be sure to be getting very little caffeine. (I personally only use 1/2 a teaspoon per cup and I find that perfect for me).

Because caffeine is a natural component of tea and extraction of this component would leave residues of chemicals used in the extraction, my company will never consider using a decaffeinated tea.

Caffeine’s primary effects last about 15 to 45 minutes, depending on an individual’s sensitivity, you should not experience any caffeine effect from drinking our fruit teas provided they are made as instructed even if you enjoy several cups at one time.

I hope this clarifies your question for you and thank you for supporting Australian Fruit Tea.

Specialist teas

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

We have been enjoying fruit teas for years, originally from the Bellaroma Shop in Sydney. Unfortunately, in Brissie the only source seems to be at specialist tea shops with teas at about $80 a kilogram! We’ve tried your raspberry and blackberry/orange teas and love them.

United Kingdom tea lovers of our loose leaf teas

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

I am going out to visit and help a friend who has immigrated to Nicaragua to start a number of projects working with poor and disadvantaged children and families. She has asked me to bring her out some organic and preferably fair-trade loose fruit teas. I have not been able to find any in the Uk and your flavours look yummy. My friend strongl;y prefers loose rather than bagged teas which she used to be able to get when she lived in Sheffield. Can you help me or advise me where I might go to get these in the UK or are you able to mail them to me
