Tea is an infusion made by steeping processed parts of the tea bush, Camellia sinensis, in hot water for a few minutes.

Many different parts of the plant are used. Usually, the top two leaves and the leaf bud are used, but some teas include larger, more mature leaves, and a few teas include stems, twigs, and other parts of the tea plant.

The processing can include processes to bruise or crush the leaves, encouraging them to oxidize, heating (steaming or pan-firing) to stop the oxidation, and drying. These different methods of processing, and also the different regions and different times of harvesting, can result in different types of tea with radically different flavor, aroma, and other qualified. Teas can be broadly classified as black tea, oolong tea, green tea, and white tea, and there are many sub-varieties of each of these types.

Tea is sometimes blended or scented with other ingredients or flavorings, leading to flavored teas or scented teas. Herbal teas are not proper teas as they do not contain the tea plant.

Does peppermint tea have caffeine?

Pure peppermint tea made of nothing but the peppermint plant is 100% caffeine-free. Similarly, all other plants in the mint family, including spearmint and many other herbs, are also caffeine-free.However, sometimes peppermint or other mints can be blended with green or black tea, or other teas from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis, or with other caffeine-containing plants like Yerba mate. These blends can contain caffeine. Typically "Moroccan mint tea" is a blend of mint and green tea.When buying mint tea, if you desire a caffeine-free herbal tea, check the ingredient list, and/or check for the term caffeine free on the label. "Herbal tea" usually implies, but does not guarantee that a blend is caffeine free--because Yerba mate and a few other plants are considered "herbal teas" but contain caffeine.

Does Tim Hortons peppermint tea have caffeine?

If you buy just pure peppermint tea there should not be any caffeine in it. Just to be safe you may want to look at the ingredients to make sure it does not have any type of other tea in it. However though sometimes peppermint teas have other things in them besides just peppermint leaves, it may also say something like bergmont essence but as long as it doesn't say Black Tea or Green Tea in the ingredients it should be fine. The only type of tea it should say in the ingredients is peppermint tea.
