The Herbal Tea Guide
Alaya's roster of calming, regenerative organic herbal teas contain zero caffeine. Unlike traditional teas (like black, green, or oolong), herbal teas are made from dried herbs, flowers and spices, rather than the Camellia sinensis tea plant. This means most herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free, making them ideal for anyone looking to cut down on stimulants or enjoy a calming beverage at any time of day.
Some of our most popular caffeine-free herbal teas include Chamomile Flowers (a luxurious, whole flower tea known for relaxation and sleep), Sweet Fennel + Mint (great for digestion and a refreshing lift), Hibiscus Flowers (tart, tangy and lovely over ice), and Lemongrass Ginger (energizing and soothing).
In addition to their unique flavors, herbal teas can serve specific functions—like calming the nervous system, aiding digestion, or supporting hydration. They’re also versatile: enjoy them hot for comfort or iced for refreshment. With no caffeine crash, herbal teas are perfect for mornings, afternoons, or an evening ritual after dinner.

THE ALAYA HERBAL TEA GUIDE
1) HIBISCUS FLOWERS ($16)
Tart, tangy, and easy on the eyes. Can be enjoyed as an iced tea in the summer, or brewed hot as a pick-me-up in the winter. Brew over the stove-top to let the flavors truly develop, then strain out the flowers and enjoy.
2. LEMONGRASS + GINGER ($14)
Tangy, lemony and peppery. Best taken on a cold day, or after a heavy meal. Brew over the stovetop to let the flavors marinate, then strain into your cup. Avoid milk or sweetener for this tea -- it's best enjoyed on it's own!
3. SWEET FENNEL + MINT ($14)
Alaya's Sweet Fennel + Mint tea is an after-meal favorite with subtle sweetness and a refreshing cool finish. Fennel is known for its digestive benefits, while mint adds a crisp, clean lift to your day. Try this one if you like the taste of Mint Chip ice cream!
4. CHAMOMILE FLOWERS ($14)
Not your grandmother's chamomile tea (leave those dusty teabags behind!) Sourced from certified regenerative organic farms in Uttar Pradesh, India, Alaya's Chamomile are beautiful, whole flowers that brew a luxurious cup of tea. And of course, no caffeine so they don't mess with your sleep.
5. TULSI, INDIAN BASIL ($14)
Tulsi, also known as Indian Basil, is a fragrant, caffeine-free herbal celebrated for its fresh, slightly peppery taste and natural wellness benefits. Grown in India, Alaya's Tulsi tea is made from pure dried basil leaves, sourced from regenerative organic farms across India.
