Tea Alternatives

Moody Teas offers a wide range of teas and blends to suit any mood, and this includes several tea alternatives. Tea alternatives include herbs that are not technically tea, since they do not include leaves from the camellia sinensis plant, but still contain caffeine unlike herbal blends. These tisanes include herbs such as yerba mate and guayusa, which can give you the caffeine boost without jitters or a crash. At Moody Teas, we’ve curated our alternatives to enhance the moods we love, with the caffeine boost of coffee but none of the side effects.

Tea alternatives have a variety of flavors, and contain caffeine. Alternatives can be steeped at high temperatures, anywhere from 210-212 degrees (f) for as long as you’d like – because they don’t contain tea, they don’t have the tannins that makes tea bitter when steeped too long. We recommend starting at 3-4 minutes and adjusting to taste. Use about 1-2 teaspoons of tea alternative per 8 ounces of water.
