Why choose Rare Tea Company herbal teas?

  • No health washing – at Rare Tea Company, we never make claims that our herbal infusions have magical health-giving properties. There is no such thing as a detox tea or weight-loss tea. We believe in honesty, not health washing.
  • Purity – all our herbal infusions are grown under organic principles and contain no additives or flavourings of any kind. Just whole leaves, flowers and stems, carefully sourced by us.
  • Rest and relaxation – none of our herbal infusions contain caffeine (except Coffee Leaf and our Recovery Tea). While true tea comes from Camellia sinensis, these are gentle herbal infusions, naturally calming and caffeine-free.
  • Better than a bag – as part of our commitment to quality and sustainability, we never use industrial tea bags. That means no microplastics, glues, bleaches or solvents. Every herbal tea from Rare Tea Co is loose leaf, exactly as nature intended.
  • Traceability – we work directly with herb gardens and small growers across the world. We know where every herb comes from, and we share those stories with you.
  • Flavour – at Rare Tea Co, we select or blend each herbal infusion to be the most delicious expression we can find or create. We can say wholeheartedly that great flavour brings deep pleasure.
  • Good for you and the environment – even biodegradable tea bags use precious natural resources for a single dunk. Our loose leaf herbal teas minimise waste and maximise flavour.

How to choose from our herbal tea range

  • Taste – we select every herbal infusion to be the most delicious expression of that plant. You truly can’t go wrong. If you’re not sure where to begin, our Herbal Tea Subscription Box is a wonderful place to start.
  • Hydration – our Wild Rooibos, gathered from ancient wild bushes, has been used for centuries for rehydration in South Africa. We also offer our deeply restorative Recovery Blend.
  • De-stress and sleep – our Soothe-Me blend is crafted to help you unwind. Our pure Chamomile is a gentle classic, and Indian Tulsi (Holy Basil) has long been used in Ayurvedic tradition to calm the mind.
  • Digestion – herbs like mint have been used for generations to soothe digestion. We offer a whole family of mints – from Rare Mint Tea to Portuguese Peppermint, English Peppermint and Malawi Spearmint. Our Himalayan Ginger & Lemongrass also makes a beautiful digestif.

FAQs before you buy from Rare Tea Co

  • Is making loose leaf herbal tea complicated?

    Not at all. At Rare Tea Co, we believe making loose leaf herbal tea should be simple and pleasurable.

    • From teapots and strainers to basket infusers, we offer thoughtful teaware to help you infuse beautifully.
    • You can also watch our short guide on making the perfect cup of tea or herbal infusion.

  • Is green tea considered herbal tea?

    Green tea (including matcha) is not a herbal tea. It comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, while our herbal infusions are crafted from entirely different plants – leaves, flowers and stems lovingly sourced by Rare Tea Company.

  • What is the most flavourful fruit-style herbal tea?

    If you enjoy bright, fruit-forward flavours, we recommend exploring our natural herbal infusions such as Hibiscus with its vibrant cranberry-like notes; Wild Rooibos or Honeybush with berry-dry sweetness; and Malawi Antlers with soft flavours of peach and apricot.
