Frequently Asked Questions
Caffeine
Which Moodvera teas are caffeine-free?
Two of our four blends are caffeine-free: Moon Calm and Rosé Glaze. Jasmine Flow and Blue Fog both contain caffeine.
Are your caffeine-free teas decaffeinated?
No. Moon Calm and Rosé Glaze are naturally caffeine-free — they contain no tea leaves at all, so there is nothing to remove. Moon Calm is made from rooibos, and Rosé Glaze is a herbal infusion of fig, almond and rose petals.
Does Jasmine Flow contain caffeine?
Yes. Jasmine Flow is an organic green tea, so it naturally contains caffeine — usually less than coffee or black tea, but enough to notice.
Does Blue Fog contain caffeine?
Yes. Blue Fog is an Earl Grey built on a black tea base, so it contains caffeine.
Which tea can I drink before bed?
Moon Calm is a naturally caffeine-free rooibos blend made for winding down in the evening. Rosé Glaze is also caffeine-free if you prefer something fruitier; please note that it contains almonds.
Choosing your tea
Which tea is best for the morning?
Jasmine Flow is an organic green tea scented with jasmine, with a light floral profile. It contains caffeine, so choose a caffeine-free blend if you are sensitive.
What is the difference between Blue Fog and Jasmine Flow?
Blue Fog is a black tea — an Earl Grey with bergamot and cornflower, deeper and warmer, suited to slow afternoons. Jasmine Flow is a green tea — lighter and floral, better for mornings. Both contain caffeine.
Which tea should I choose as a gift?
Moon Calm is a naturally caffeine-free option for someone who enjoys herbal flavours. Blue Fog is the most classic choice for a regular tea drinker. Rosé Glaze feels like a dessert-style treat, but it contains almonds, so please check the recipient's allergies before gifting.
Brewing
How do I brew Moon Calm?
Use freshly boiled water and steep for 3 to 6 minutes. If you prefer a stronger cup, add a little more tea before extending the steep.
How do I brew Rosé Glaze?
Use freshly boiled water and steep for 3 to 6 minutes to draw out the fruit and floral notes.
How do I brew Jasmine Flow?
Use water around 80°C and steep for 1 to 3 minutes. Water that is too hot or a steep that is too long can make green tea taste bitter.
How do I brew Blue Fog?
Use water around 95 to 100°C and steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
Can I steep the leaves more than once?
Yes. Our teas are loose leaf, and Jasmine Flow in particular holds up well to a second steep. Add about a minute to the steeping time for each round.
Storage
How should I store my tea?
Keep it in an airtight container, somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. Tea takes on nearby smells easily, so store it away from spices and coffee.
