1. Check the Caffeine
If you want to avoid caffeine, always check the label before buying. Blue Tea's herbal teas are caffeine-free, making them easy to include in different parts of your day.
2. Choose Your Taste First
A tea you enjoy is much easier to make a habit.
If you like mild, floral flavours, Butterfly Pea Flower Tea or Chamomile can be a good starting point.
Prefer something fresh and minty? Try a mint-based blend.
If you enjoy tangy flavours, Hibiscus can be a better match. For citrusy notes, Lemongrass blends offer a brighter flavour profile.
3. Tea Bags or Loose Leaf?
For most beginners, tea bags are the easiest option. There is no measuring or straining: simply steep and enjoy.
Loose leaf tea can be a better fit if you enjoy experimenting with the amount of tea, brewing time and preparation.
Blue Tea teabags are different; they are made from cornstarch and are biodegradable.
Several of our herbal blends are available in convenient tea-bag formats, making them easy to add to an everyday routine.
4. Match Your Tea to Your Day
Think about when you are most likely to drink it.
Morning: Choose a flavour you genuinely enjoy starting your day with.
Afternoon: Mint, Hibiscus or Lemongrass can make a refreshing tea break.
Evening: A caffeine-free floral herbal tea can become part of your wind-down routine, like Chamomile by Blue Tea
The best tea isn't necessarily the one with the longest ingredient list. It's the one that fits naturally into your day.
5. Don't Know What You Like? Start With a Sampler
If you're new to herbal tea, you don't have to commit to one flavour immediately.
Blue Tea's assorted sampler options let you explore different blends and discover which flavours you actually enjoy before choosing your everyday favourite.
So, Which Herbal Tea Should You Choose?
Want something mild and floral? → Butterfly Pea or Chamomile
Want something fresh? → Mint
Prefer something tangy? → Hibiscus
Like citrusy flavours? → Lemongrass
Not sure yet? → Start with a Blue Tea sampler
The goal isn't to find the tea that sounds the most impressive. It's to find the one you'll actually want to brew again tomorrow.
