Other teas - herbal inspiration and plant-based infusions full of flavour

Non-traditional teas - explore the alternative side of the infusion world

The Other Teas category at MateMundo.co.uk is where you'll find unusual, plant-based infusions and blends from outside the mainstream. It's ideal for those looking to expand their tea collection with original and colourful teas from all corners of the world.

Here you will find classic hibiscus infusions as well as the exotic Butterfly Pea Tea (Ternatine Clitoria), herbal teas or other plant-based offerings - a real variety to your daily brewing ritual.

What do the "other teas" contain?

• Hibiscus - the dried calyxes of the plant, giving an intense red infusion and a characteristically fruity taste,
• Butterfly Pea Tea - tea made from the blue flowers of clitoria, which colours the water blue and changes colour when exposed to pH (e.g. with lemon),
• Herbal teas - mild and aromatic infusions created from the leaves, flowers and roots of plants,
• Herbalblends - compositions of herbs, spices and flowers: natural, decaffeinated and often seasonal,
• Colourful and striking teas - ideal both for everyday drinking and for serving in company.

Who are the other teas for?

The teas in this category will appeal to people who:

• are looking for decaffeinated alternatives to classic teas,
• are experimenting with colourful and striking infusions,
• like herbal and floral aromas in a natural setting,
• want to prepare a tea ideal for serving cold (ice tea) or as a base for cocktails,
• collect unusual flavours from different cultures and traditions.

How do you brew teas in this category?

Each type of infusion has its own brewing preferences - for example, brew hibiscus with water at around 90-100°C for 5-10 minutes. Butterfly Pea Tea can be prepared hot or cold - and responds well to acidic additions, changing the colour of the infusion from blue to purple. Herbal teas, on the other hand, are best poured over hot water and steeped covered.
