How is this tea different from ordinary black or green tea? — Sea Buckthorn Herbal Tea 50 g - Teavit

The main difference lies in the composition and character of the drink. Classic black or green tea is made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, which is where the caffeine and the characteristic astringency come from. TEAVIT Astelpaju marjad is a blend without tea leaves: sea buckthorn, rosehip, apple, St John's wort and chaga mushroom. It contains no components of the tea plant, and therefore no caffeine.

In taste, the infusion is closer to a fruit and berry drink: sea buckthorn gives a sweet-and-sour note, rosehip adds a berry astringency, and apple softens and rounds off the flavour. St John's wort and chaga bring a woody, herbal depth that you will not find in an ordinary fruit tea bag. The result is a multifaceted drink — neither flat nor cloying.

This blend is convenient to drink at any time of day, including in the evening when caffeine is undesirable. It fits well into a home routine as an alternative to your usual tea or as a way to vary your choice of hot drinks during the day.

If you are sensitive to particular ingredients of the blend (St John's wort, chaga) or are choosing herbal blends at a special time of life, go by your personal tolerance and, if necessary, consult a specialist.
