At Royal New York, much of what we do is centered around caffeine. However, we know that oftentimes our customers are looking for something a little more relaxing! To help you ease into the cooler weather, Caitlin Normann has highlighted some of our favorite teas without caffeine.
Understanding Caffeine in Tea
Firstly, all tea blends with the camellia sinensis plant will contain caffeine. These include black, green, white, oolong, puer, yellow, and purple teas. However, tisanes or herbal tea blends without the tea plant are almost always caffeine-free. Of course, there is an exception to every rule! Yerba Mate and Yaupon (more commonly known as holly plants), as well as cocoa, are a few examples of tea-related ingredients that naturally contain caffeine.
As for our recommendations, we’ve selected a few of our current favorites that are guaranteed to keep you jitter-free! Since none of these options contain camellia sinensis, they’re great for customers that want a drink full of flavor that won’t keep them up too late.
Teas without Caffeine from RTNY
Organic Chamomile Ginger
Most people think of chamomile as a “sleepy-time tea.” While we love our Organic Chamomile as a non-caffeinated option, we wanted to crank things up a notch! In this blend, ginger provides a kick of warmth, and lemon myrtle adds some citrus and sweetness; it’s perfect for a soothing offering.

Pumpkin Spice Chai
Not only is this tea a caffeine-free favorite, it’s also our newest addition to our favorites for fall! This tea is great for those that want to partake in the seasonal trend of pumpkin spice but don’t want the associated caffeine. Use this blend as the base for a pumpkin chai latte or enjoy on its own with honey or a splash of milk.

Organic Hibiscus Berry
This popular tea is for the fruit lovers! Organic Hibiscus provides a powerful punch to this rooibos-based blend, and orange peel gives it some zing. While best served over ice for a refreshing beverage, Organic Hibiscus Berry is also great brewed hot for a warming boost on a chilly afternoon. Plus, no tea leaves = no caffeine!

Last but not least, these sachets are definitive proof that a tea doesn’t need to be part of a blend to make a good “cuppa”! Our pure Organic Peppermint is deliciously minty and pre-portioned in our pyramid tea sachets for convenience. The peppermint plant doesn’t have caffeine, so sip to your heart’s content.
