Decaffeinated tea is a great drink for people who love drinking tea but want or need to avoid excessive caffeine consumption. Interestingly, all types of tea – including black, green and white – can be decaffeinated. However, in this post we would like to focus primarily on fruit teas.
What ingredients are decaffeinated fruit teas made of? Who are they recommended for and why are they worth drinking? You will find the answers to these questions in the rest of the post!
Can caffeine-free fruit teas actually be called tea?
The phrase "decaffeinated tea" is a bit of a contradiction . Why? Tea leaves contain theine, a substance that is essentially the same as caffeine. The only difference between the two substances is that theine does not work immediately. Instead, it is released more slowly in the body , which means that its effect lasts longer.
It is also worth noting that caffeine-free fruit teas do not contain tea leaves. As a rule , such blends are composed of dried fruit, flower petals, herbs and sometimes spices .
Conclusion? Fruit infusions without caffeine are not technically tea, but in Poland it is a common practice to call them that.
Why is it worth drinking decaffeinated fruit teas?
- It is a perfect substitute for sweetened drinks that we can find on store shelves.
- They can be prepared quickly and easily, both hot and cold. This means they are suitable for any time of year – regardless of whether we want to quench our thirst on hot days or warm up our bodies during cold or frosty weather.
- They effectively quench thirst.
- Due to the presence of fruit in the composition, they are a rich source of many vitamins.
- They are a better choice for the evening than classic teas. The lack of theine means that the infusion does not cause an unnecessary feeling of stimulation.
Caffeine-free fruit teas are especially recommended for children, the elderly, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.
