Buy herbal tea: discover herbs, flowers and spices

At Mingtea, you can buy carefully selected loose-leaf herbal tea in a wide range of blends and flavour profiles. From refreshing mint and lemongrass to spicy ginger, delicate chamomile and distinctive herbal blends.

Herbal tea or herbal infusion?
Although we usually refer to it as herbal tea, herbal infusion is technically a more accurate term. True tea is made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, while herbal tea consists of other plant-based ingredients. In everyday language, however, herbal tea is the most commonly used term.
Caffeine-free herbal tea
Many herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free because they do not contain leaves from the tea plant Camellia sinensis. If you are looking for caffeine-free herbal tea, Mingtea offers various herbs and herbal blends without caffeine. For each blend, check the ingredients and product information for the specific composition.
How to prepare herbal tea
To prepare herbal tea, steep the herbs in hot water for several minutes. The ideal quantity, water temperature and steeping time may vary depending on the ingredients used. That is why each product includes suitable brewing instructions and a complete ingredients list.
