Casablanca Caffeine Free Herbal Tea 16oz Loose Leaf, Hibiscus Strawberry Apple
Casablanca's caffeine free herbal tea in a 16oz loose leaf bag with hibiscus, strawberry and apple for fruity cups.
Herbal tea, or tisane, is not true tea at all but an infusion of herbs, flowers, fruits, or roots, which makes it naturally caffeine-free. This guide is for home tea drinkers who want a soothing, any-time cup, from a calming evening brew to a bright afternoon refresher. Popular choices include chamomile for winding down, peppermint for a crisp lift, and hibiscus or fruit blends for a tart, colorful cup. When comparing, look at ingredient quality and whether the blend uses whole botanicals rather than dust, plus freshness and any added flavorings. Loose herbal blends often taste fuller than bags. Because there is no caffeine to balance, flavor and aroma are everything, so choose blends built around ingredients you genuinely enjoy and steep them a little longer for full character.
