How do I re-brew my flower? We recommend using each Primula Tea Flower up to 3 times in a 24 hour period. After you have enjoyed your first pot of tea just pour hot water back over the flower and allow it to brew to your desired strength.

Does the tea have Caffeine? Tea’s caffeine level is based mostly on the amount of time that the tea is cooked. Typically, darker (more cooked) teas have higher levels of caffeine. While many coffee drinkers experience jitters or nervousness these effects are not typically caused by our tea. Because our tea provides a relaxing experience, our drinkers report feeling more alert and focused. Black Tea contains the highest amount of caffeine, similar to the same size cup of coffee. Green Tea contains approximately one quarter of the caffeine found in the same size cup of coffee. White Tea contains approximately half of the caffeine of Green Tea. Primula Flowering Teas are not available in completely decaffeinated. Decaf teas are done with a process to remove the caffeine from the tea. During the removal of the caffeine many of the catechins are removed. Most decaffeinated teas use a processed using a chemical solvent. When drinking decaffeinated teas it is healthier to choose a "carbon dioxide" decaf.
