Why doesn’t La Vie Tea use “Natural Flavors”?

Most commercial teas—even high-end ones—rely on “natural flavors,” which are often lab-created oils sprayed onto low-quality, stale herbs to mimic taste.

We believe in the purity of the plant. If you taste mint or rose in our tea, it is because there are actual mint leaves and rose petals in your cup—not a chemical additive.

What is the difference between “Whole Leaf” and “Tea Dust”?

Standard tea bags are typically filled with “fannings” or dust—the broken leftovers from industrial tea processing. These fragments lose their essential oils and antioxidants quickly.

We use whole botanicals that retain their therapeutic potency and complex flavor, providing a much cleaner, richer steep.

Are your herbs organic?

We prioritize organic and wild-crafted herbs sourced from trusted French cooperatives and global partners who follow strict, sustainable farming practices.

Our focus is on clean soil and gentle harvesting to ensure no synthetic pesticides or heavy metals enter your cup.

Why is the color of my tea lighter than some store-bought brands?

Many mass-market teas add hibiscus or artificial coloring to create an instant dark “dye” effect.

Because we use zero additives or artificial colorants, La Vie Tea reflects the true natural hue of the plants. A lighter, clearer amber is often a sign of purity—not weakness.

Can I steep these herbs more than once?

Absolutely. Because our botanicals are high-grade and whole-leaf, they are packed with concentrated flavor.

Many of our customers enjoy a second steep, which effectively doubles the value of every tin.

How many cups can I brew?

-Our Signature Tins

Each tin contains 20 premium tea bags, precisely portioned for a perfect 8oz steep. Because we use whole, high-grade botanicals rather than tea dust, many customers enjoy a second infusion with the same bag—offering up to 40 cups per tin.

-Loose Leaf Bags (1oz)

Our 1oz bags of raw herbs provide approximately 8–10 servings, depending on how strong you like your infusion.

How should I store my tea to keep it fresh?

To preserve the delicate essential oils and vibrant aromas, keep your tea in its airtight La Vie tin or pouch, away from direct sunlight and high heat.

Our packaging is designed to keep your herbs at peak potency.

What is the best way to brew a La Vie blend?

For the perfect cup, use one teaspoon of herbs or 1 tea bag per 8oz of hot water.

We recommend steeping for 5–7 minutes to allow the whole botanicals to fully open and release their natural compounds. Because our blends are caffeine-free, the tea will not become bitter if it steeps longer.

Are your teas caffeine-free?

Yes. Our collection consists of 100% caffeine-free herbal tisanes.

They are designed to support your body’s natural rhythms—from morning clarity to evening rest—without the crash associated with caffeine.

Is your packaging eco-friendly?

We are committed to the earth as much as the plant.

Our tins are infinitely recyclable, and we use plant-based sustainable materials for our tea bags. Wherever possible to ensure our French-inspired rituals are as gentle on the planet as they are on your body.

Are your products safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

While our ingredients are 100% natural and free from additives, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before introducing new herbal rituals into your routine during pregnancy or while nursing.
