Frequently asked questions

Botanical tisanes are herbal infusions made from flowers, leaves, roots, fruits, seeds and other plant parts. Unlike traditional black, green or white tea, most botanical tisanes do not contain tea leaves from Camellia sinensis and are often naturally caffeine-free.

Our blends are sold as food-grade botanical tisanes for flavour, aroma, ritual and everyday enjoyment. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any health condition.

Yes. Each blend is thoughtfully created by a qualified naturopath using traditional herbal knowledge, flavour pairing, aroma, colour, energetics and sensory experience. The focus is on creating beautiful daily rituals, not therapeutic treatment products.

Ital Botanical Blend combines traditional herbalism, sensory formulation and modern ritual. Each blend is crafted to offer more than just flavour — the colour, aroma, texture and botanical character are all considered to create a meaningful tea moment.

For a soft evening ritual, choose Ital Evening Wind. It contains lemon balm, skullcap, passionflower, linden and jasmine buds for a gentle, floral and herbaceous cup.

For an after-meal tea moment, choose Ital after-meal garden. It has chamomile, lemongrass, ginger, meadowsweet, dandelion root, peppermint and wood betony, giving a floral, citrus-warm and lightly minty finish.

Ital Ruby Breeze is designed for cold brewing. Hibiscus gives a bright ruby colour, while elderflower, hawthorn, gotu kola, lavender, peppermint and stevia create a fruity, floral and refreshing botanical infusion. However, Ital Ruby Breeze can also be consumed as a hot beverage and tastes as beautiful and aromatic as the cold brew.

Ital Daily Ritual is your everyday green botanical tisane. It contains tulsi, lemon balm, alfalfa, moringa, gotu kola, brahmi and calendula for a green-gold cup that is earthy, lemon-herbal and softly floral.

Ital Melbourne Breeze is crafted as a seasonal botanical tisane for cold mornings, rainy afternoons and winter rituals. It contains tulsi, chamomile, elderberry, rosehip, ginger and echinacea.

Ital Morning Bitter is the best option if you enjoy dark, roasted and earthy flavours. It contains roasted chicory, roasted dandelion, burdock root and ginger.

Yes, the current Ital Botanical Blend launch range is naturally caffeine-free. We do not use black tea, green tea, white tea or yerba mate in these blends.

No. Our blends are created using whole botanicals and natural plant ingredients. We do not rely on artificial flavouring to create the taste.

No refined sugar is added. Some blends may contain naturally sweet botanicals, such as stevia, to soften the flavour profile.

Yes. The blends are made from plant-based ingredients and do not contain animal-derived ingredients.

The ingredients are naturally gluten-free; however, always check the product label and allergen information. If you have coeliac disease or severe sensitivities, contact us before purchasing so we can confirm the most current supplier information.

As a general guide, use 1–2 teaspoons per cup. For larger leaves and flowers, you may prefer a heaped teaspoon or tablespoon depending on your taste preference.

Most botanical tisanes are best steeped for 5–10 minutes. Roots, berries and roasted botanicals may benefit from a longer infusion for a fuller flavour.

Yes. Covering your cup or teapot helps preserve the aromatic qualities of the botanicals and gives a fuller sensory experience.

Yes. Honey and lemon work beautifully with many botanical blends. Milk is best suited to Ital Morning Bitter, especially if you enjoy a roasted, coffee-style cup.

Yes, but Ital Ruby Breeze is the best option for cold brew. Add the blend to cold filtered water and allow it to infuse in the fridge for several hours or overnight.

Store your blends in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and strong odours. Seal the pouch properly after opening to preserve freshness, aroma and flavour.

The blends are created as food-grade botanical tisanes for everyday enjoyment. However, individual needs vary. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a health condition, seek advice from a qualified health practitioner before regular use.

Some blends may be suitable for older children in small amounts, but they are primarily created for adults. Seek professional advice before giving herbal blends to children, especially if the child has allergies, takes medication or has a medical condition.

Please seek advice from a qualified health practitioner before using herbal blends during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Some botanicals may not be suitable during these stages.

If you take prescription medication, have a diagnosed medical condition or are under medical care, speak with your healthcare provider before using herbal blends regularly.

Our blends contain botanicals from different plant families. For example, chamomile, calendula and echinacea belong to the daisy family, which may not suit people with allergies to related plants. Always read the ingredient list before use.

Yes. Our blends are loose leaf botanical tisanes, allowing you to see, smell and experience the whole botanicals in each blend.

Yes, loose leaf blends are best prepared using a tea infuser, tea strainer, teapot with infuser, or reusable filter.

This depends on the blend, serving size and how strong you like your tea. As a general guide, lighter flower and leaf blends may require a larger spoonful, while root and roasted blends are denser and may go further.

Different botanicals have different densities. Flowers and leaves are lighter and take up more space, while roots and roasted ingredients are heavier. For this reason, pack weights may vary between blends.

Some blends may be infused a second time, although the flavour will usually be lighter. Roasted roots, berries and larger leaves often hold up better for a second steep.

Sample packs may be offered depending on availability. They are a great way to explore the range before committing to a full pouch.

Wholesale enquiries are welcome. Please contact us with your business details, location and the products you are interested in stocking.

Our blends are thoughtfully prepared in Australia using carefully selected botanical ingredients.

Some ingredients may be organic depending on seasonal availability and supplier sourcing. Please check individual product information or contact us for current details.

We aim to source ingredients with care, quality and respect for the plants, growers and customers who enjoy them.

Natural botanicals can vary in colour, size, aroma and texture depending on harvest, season and origin. This is normal and reflects the natural character of whole plant ingredients.

For us, ritual means slowing down and making a simple moment meaningful. Each blend is created to support a particular tea moment — morning, evening, after meals, cold brew, winter days or daily botanical enjoyment.
