Blue Monday Tea

Most herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free since they’re made from herbs, flowers, or fruits rather than the Camellia sinensis plant, which contains caffeine. However, some herbal blends may include ingredients like yerba mate, guayusa, or cacao, which do have natural caffeine. Always check the ingredients if you’re avoiding caffeine.

Dark Alchemy Herbal Teas are crafted with care to offer unique benefits for both body and mind. For relaxation, blends featuring chamomile or lavender help you unwind and find calm. Looking to support digestion? Our teas with peppermint or ginger are perfect for soothing the stomach. Need an energy boost? Dark Alchemy’s energizing blends with chocolate or invigorating citrus fruits can give you a natural lift. Every blend is thoughtfully designed to combine bold flavors with wellness benefits, making them the perfect addition to your daily rituals.

Technically, herbal tea isn’t considered "true tea" because it doesn’t come from the Camellia sinensis plant, which produces black, green, white, and oolong teas. Instead, herbal teas are infusions made from herbs, flowers, fruits, or other plants, often called "tisanes." However, in casual usage, they’re commonly referred to as tea.

Natural flavors in our tea are flavoring compounds derived from natural sources like fruits, herbs, spices, or other plant-based ingredients. These flavors are extracted using methods such as distillation or cold-pressing to create oils, essences, or extracts. In Dark Alchemy tea, natural flavors are added to enhance or complement the taste of the base tea or herbal blend.

A tisane, pronounced "tea-zahn," is a caffeine-free herbal infusion made from herbs, flowers, fruits, spices, or other plants steeped in hot water. Unlike true teas, which come from the Camellia sinensis plant, tisanes are made entirely from non-tea plants. Popular examples include chamomile, peppermint, and hibiscus. They’re enjoyed for their variety of flavors and potential health benefits.
