Choose a fruit infusion by its exact ingredients and an explicit caffeine-free claim, rather than by its flavour name. If you are breastfeeding, a caffeine-free cup can replace some ordinary tea, but the NHS advises counting caffeine from all foods and drinks. If you are pregnant or might be pregnant, follow NHS advice to avoid teas containing liquorice root and drink no more than four cups of herbal tea a day; for everyday purchases, compare pack size and delivery costs too.
An explicitly caffeine-free infusion can replace a cup of ordinary tea without adding caffeine from that drink. The NHS advises breastfeeding parents who consume caffeine to try not to exceed 300mg a day, counting other foods and drinks as well.
Check every blend for liquorice root, even when the front of the pack names only fruit. NHS pregnancy guidance advises avoiding teas containing liquorice root and drinking no more than four cups of herbal tea a day.
Choose a flavour and pack size that work for your routine, then compare the ingredients, number of bags and final delivery cost. A fruit name or wellness label does not answer those questions.
Start with the exact blend’s caffeine claim and ingredients. Once those fit your circumstances, compare the pack and how you will buy it.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Caffeine | Look for an explicit caffeine-free claim on the exact blend. Check whether its ingredients include green or black tea: Twinings describes its fruit and herbal infusions as free from tea leaves, while Pukka lists green tea among ingredients used across its fruit-tea range. | I want a hot drink that does not add caffeine from this cup while I keep track of caffeine elsewhere. The NHS advises breastfeeding parents who consume caffeine to try not to exceed 300mg a day. |
| Pregnancy ingredients | Read the full list for liquorice root, including in berry, lemon and ginger blends. The NHS advises avoiding teas containing liquorice root during pregnancy and drinking no more than four cups of herbal tea a day. | If I am pregnant or might be pregnant, a fruit flavour alone does not tell me whether a blend fits NHS pregnancy guidance. |
| Other botanicals | Identify the named herbs and leaves in the individual product. If you take prescribed medicine, discuss herbal products with the healthcare professional responsible for it; Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust warns that herbal products can interact with conventional medicines. | I need to know what is in the cup before making a herbal infusion part of my routine, particularly if I take prescribed medicine. |
| Pack and delivery | Compare tea-bag count and net weight, then check the basket total and delivery terms for an online order. Compare a mixed pack’s individual blends before buying it for someone with an ingredient restriction. | For a regularly used drink, I would rather compare the full order with a shop-bought pack than judge a box by its flavour or pack front. |
A fruit-tea range can contain blends with different tea bases. Pukka lists green tea among ingredients used across its fruit-tea range, so the category name cannot establish the caffeine status of an individual blend.
If avoiding caffeine from this cup matters, choose an exact product labelled caffeine-free and read its ingredients for tea leaves.
Liquorice root appears in some fruit-forward blends, including three flavours in the Joybuy Twinings Fruit Selection listing. The NHS advises avoiding teas containing liquorice root during pregnancy.
If you are pregnant or might be pregnant, check each blend’s ingredient list and follow NHS guidance on herbal-tea intake.
Delivery charges and minimum-spend conditions can change the total for a small order.
Check the final basket total before comparing an online box with one available in a shop.
Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust cautions that herbal products can interact with conventional medicines; a natural, organic or caffeine-free description does not resolve that question.
If you take prescribed medicine, take the exact ingredient list to the healthcare professional responsible for it before using a herbal blend regularly.
These ranges illustrate different fruit and herbal choices; check the individual pack rather than applying a range description to every blend.

This mixed fruit-infusion pack is described as naturally caffeine-free.

Check each blend for liquorice root and avoid teas containing it. The NHS also advises drinking no more than four cups of herbal tea a day during pregnancy because research on their effects is limited.
Do not assume a herbal infusion is suitable because it is described as natural or caffeine-free. Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust warns that herbal products can interact with conventional medicines and advises discussing them with the healthcare professional responsible for your prescribed medicine.
Choose fruit tea as a drink preference, not as a treatment for tiredness, milk-supply concerns or sleep problems. Ask a healthcare professional about symptoms or breastfeeding concerns rather than relying on a blend’s wellness description.
