Many people choose tea as an alternative to coffee because the latter contains caffeine. But not everyone knows that the invigorating substance is contained in both drinks.

What kind of tea does not contain caffeine?

• Herbal collections are natural teas made from herbs, dried fruits, nuts and more. They are naturally caffeine-free. A great alternative if you are sensitive to the invigorating substance.
• Decaffeinated teas – These varieties, such as green tea, have a mild, rich flavor after going through the process of being cleansed of this substance. You can drink them at any time of the day without worrying about affecting your sleep.

Switching to decaffeinated tea reduces anxiety, helps you deal with insomnia and various health problems.

Chamomile tea

A very popular herbal tea with a delicate floral flavor after infusing chamomile flower petals in hot water. It is credited with soothing properties that reduce inflammation, sore throat and lower stress levels, which is beneficial for sleep.

Peppermint tea

Another beverage that is widely known to us. The essential oils released when the tea is brewed have antiviral and antimicrobial properties, which strengthens the immune system and helps the body fight infection.

Buckwheat tea

This drink is also called sobacha. It has a sweetish nutty flavor, delicious both hot and cold. It promotes good digestion. Buckwheat tea contains vitamins A, B, E, PP. But the one that stands out the most is rutin (vitamin P), which has a variety of strengthening effects for the body.

Rooibos

When weakly brewed, it is sweet and nutty, but with prolonged brewing it acquires tart woody and even smoky notes. This tea is rich in antioxidants and trace elements such as calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, vitamin C, which improve skin, digestion and overall body health.
