How can I purchase Tea Drop tea?

Where do you source your tea?

From some beautiful places around the world such as China, Japan, India, Sri Lanka and Africa.

How do I know the quality and safety of Tea Drop products?

All of our teas are rigorously tested for food safety and comply with EU regulations. The EU has strict pesticide standards and it also has test laboratories that detect pesticides at lower levels. They make sure we’re squeaky clean. 

How long does your tea stay fresh?

The answer is…it depends on the tea. Because some of our blends have big chunks of fruit, chocolate and other great stuff, they don’t always stay fresh as long as our traditional straight teas. To keep your teas fresh, always store them in a cool, dry and dark place. Also, keep them well sealed.

As a guideline we usually suggest fruit and nut teas be consumed within six months from date of purchase, straight teas within three years.

What is your tea pouch made of?

A lovely thing called SOILON, which is composed of biomass material derived from plants.

 

How much caffeine is there in a cup of tea?

It’s hard to say for sure because there are lots of things that affect it such as water temperature and steeping time. However, we can guarantee our herbal teas are caffeine free.

How should I store my tea?

Keep it in a dry and cool place (definitely under 25 degrees), away from the stove and out of the refrigerator or freezer. Also, keep it away from other strong smell items. Generally an airtight container is the best home, it protects against exposure to light, humidity and high temperatures.
