Tea Guide

Find Your Cup

Tea can be simple. Whether you’re looking for something bold, refreshing, smooth, spiced, or caffeine-free, here’s a quick guide to help you discover where to start.

Black Tea

Bold • Rich • Full-bodied

Black tea is a great place to start if you enjoy stronger flavors. Depending on the blend, you’ll find everything from smooth and malty to fruity, floral, and spiced.

Try it if you like: Coffee, breakfast teas, chai, or a stronger cup.
Caffeine: Typically higher
Brew: About 3–5 minutes

Green Tea

Fresh • Light • Grassy

Green tea tends to be lighter and more delicate than black tea. Flavors can range from fresh and vegetal to sweet, floral, toasted, or fruity.

Try it if you like: Clean, refreshing flavors and a lighter cup.
Caffeine: Typically moderate
Brew: About 2–3 minutes

Oolong Tea

Smooth • Complex • Aromatic

Oolong sits somewhere between green and black tea, which gives it an incredible range of flavors. Some are light and floral while others are rich, roasted, and almost creamy.

Try it if you like: Exploring complex flavors or want something between green and black tea.
Caffeine: Typically moderate
Brew: About 3–5 minutes

Herbal Tea

Soothing • Flavorful • Naturally Caffeine-Free

Herbal teas aren’t technically made from traditional tea leaves. Instead, they can feature herbs, flowers, fruits, spices, and other botanicals.

Try it if you like: Fruity, floral, minty, or soothing flavors.
Caffeine: Usually caffeine-free
Brew: About 5–7 minutes

Chai & Spiced Tea

Warm • Aromatic • Comforting

Chai and other spiced teas bring together warming flavors such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and other spices. Many are delicious on their own or prepared with milk.

Try it if you like: Warm spices, bold flavors, or tea lattes.
Caffeine: Varies by blend
Brew: About 4–5 minutes

Matcha

Rich • Vibrant • Distinctive

Matcha is finely ground green tea that is whisked directly into water rather than steeped and removed. Because you consume the tea itself, it delivers a uniquely rich flavor and experience.

Try it if you like: Earthy, vegetal flavors, matcha lattes, or a more concentrated tea experience.
Caffeine: Typically higher than regular steeped green tea
Preparation: Whisk with hot water until smooth and lightly frothy.

Iced Tea

Cool • Refreshing • Easy to Love

Tea doesn’t have to be served hot. Black, green, herbal, and fruit-forward teas can all make excellent iced tea.

Try it if you like: Refreshing drinks, fruity flavors, or something you can sip throughout the day.
