Frequently asked questions
When should I stop drinking caffeine?
It varies by person, but a common rule of thumb is to keep stronger caffeine to the first half of the day and switch to low- or no-caffeine cups from mid-afternoon.
Which teas are naturally caffeine-free?
Herbal infusions — rooibos, chamomile, peppermint, hibiscus and friends — come from plants other than the tea bush, so they carry no caffeine at all.
