Please visit our health benefits page for the latest summary of tea's amazing health benefits.

While some of our teas are organic, many are not. While being proponents of organic farming, we believe that offering our customers a flavourful product is more important. Unfortunately, most organic teas score poorly on this scale, having been cultivated from tea bushes that are too young to produce a quality product. Once these mature and the quality improves, we'll be happy to expand our selection.

Good news! Any unflavoured tea is naturally Kosher, and all our flavoured teas are made with Kosher ingredients. We kindly ask that you take our word for this as the cost of certifying our large collection of teas is prohibitively high.

For those looking to lose a couple of pounds, drinking tea can contribute to the effort as part of a healthy diet. However, there's no such thing as a weight loss variety, because all teas come from the same plant and are therefore very similar in their powers to help the body burn calories.
The trick is finding a variety you'll enjoy drinking a lot, as experts recommend consuming around four cups of tea per day in order to benefit from its health virtues.

Decaf tea is any tea that has undergone a process which eliminates most of the caffeine content. Two processes are currently used to commercially decaffeinate tea, the ethyl acetate and the CO2 method. While the ethyl acetate method is cheaper and easier, the CO2 method has been proven much safer. All of Adagio's decaf teas undergo the CO2 process.

Explore our decaf flavoured teas as well as our naturally caffeine-free herbal teas and rooibos and honeybush teas.

For caffeine information on our other teas, please visit the product page of the tea in question and look under its description to get a better idea of the caffeine level in that product. Generally speaking, yerba mate has the highest caffeine level, followed by most black teas, then most green/white/oolong teas. All have less caffeine than a cup of coffee or cola.
