FAQ

Tea

Where do your teas come from?

Our teas come from all over the world. Each tea and its origin. Our green teas come mainly from Japan, Rooibos from South Africa, our herbs and flowers are from all over the world, from Europe, the Mediterranean to South America. And so on.
    
All of our teas and blends are packed happily in Brooklyn NY.

Should tea be organic?

Organic means that the leaves, flowers, fruits and roots had grown in a natural environment without any chemical interfere. The organic symbol is an assurance for you that you are drinking natural, real teas, that doesnt contain any chemicals and that are non GMO. After all, a good reason for drinking tea is the health benefits involved. Make sure you drink good healthy tea.

So caffeine, who? Where? Why?

Caffeine naturally exist in the Camellia Sinenssis plant, the plant of all teas, it is the process way that makes all the difference-White tea is the most 'raw' tea therefor the amount of caffeine it contains is very low
Green tea is the next, very minimal process but not completely raw contains 15-20 mg of caffeine.
Oolong tea has more caffeine then green tea but not as much as black tea and Pu'erh.
Black tea contains up to 60 mg of caffeine for a regular size cup. (10 oz) Sounds a lot? Espresso can contain up to 150 mg of caffeine in same size of cup.

Do you carry any Decaffeinated teas?

Decaffeinating is a process (sometimes evolves chemicals) that changes the leaf, misstea doesn't like to interfere Mother Nature's creation so no decaffeinated black or green tea in our home. If you are trying to avoid caffeine and share love for a full body tea check out our Red Rooibos selection. 

For caffeine free drinkers, we have a wide selection of herbal infusions that are 100% Caffeine free. This is actually one of our biggest passion!

Do you have tea that will help me lose weight?

No matter what others would say. Tea is not a magical potion for losing weight, and you will not loose 10 pounds just by drinking tea. However, if you adopt a natural healthy lifestyle, that involves conscious eating habits, physical exercise (that you like!) and learn to love your body, than drinking tea can help. Especially and specifically tea that aids with your body's metabolism, such as OOLONG, that will definitely be a good trustworthy friend.

Recommendations for steeping time that you can follow-
White tea- 1.5 tsp per 8oz hot water - Steeping time: 3-4 min
