Allergen Information
Tea itself, from the Camellia sinensis plant, typically doesn't contain allergens. However, flavoured teas or herbal blends may contain allergens depending on the ingredients used. Some common allergens that might be found in flavoured teas include:
- Nuts: Almonds, hazelnuts, or other tree nuts may be used in flavoured teas or as additives.
- Soy: Soy lecithin or soy-based flavourings may be used in some teas.
- Dairy: Some teas may contain milk or milk derivatives such as powdered creamer.
- Gluten: Tea blends containing additives like malt flavouring may contain gluten.
- Fruits: Certain teas may contain dried fruit pieces like citrus peel or berries, which can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
- Spices: Some teas may contain spices like cinnamon, which can be allergenic for some people.
We import our teas and ingredients from around the world meaning that some may have been prepared in an environment which handles nuts and other allergens.
It is essential to check the ingredient list on our teas if you have allergies or sensitivities to specific ingredients. Additionally, cross-contamination can occur during processing, so individuals with severe allergies should exercise caution and ask for assistance if you are unsure.
