FAQ

Our parent company-Viva Tea was founded in 1998 and Yes tea is one branch of viva tea, specially exporting special tea abroad.

No, Yes tea does not claim to be a medicinal tea company, although tea and herbs used in several blends do possess healthful benefits.

Our tea shelf life is three years. We would like to assure you that there is no health or expiration concerns with our teas. You can identify the date that the product was manufactured and expiry date located on the bottom of the box or packet. ?

Teas are categorized by the drying and oxidation process they undergo.

We would like to clarify that we do not make any medicinal claims on any of our teas, but we have gathered many articles on the health benefits of green tea. Medical Research has discovered that green tea naturally contains an antioxidant or polyphenols called (Epigallocatechin Gallate) or EGCG for short. This polyphenols appears to inhibit the growth of urokinase, an enzyme that promotes the growth of cancerous tumors. Extensive human studies are being conducted and many more benefits associated with drinking tea are being discovered.

There will be minimal loss of the antioxidant benefits for several reasons. We purchase a premium grade green tea for decaffeination, and we are currently using a CO2 decaffeination process which retains most of the polyphenols. Green Tea is more delicate than black tea. Therefore, we recommend using water that has been brought to a rolling boil; bring the water to the point of boiling, or 185 degrees.

Tannins in tea are what give the tea the slightly astringent taste, especially when the tea is of poor quality or is brewed strong.

Facts about Caffeine, did you know that tea contains only 1/4 to 1/2 the amount of caffeine contained in coffee?
Caffeine Average (Milligrams per 8 oz. Serving)
Green Tea 25 - 50
White tea 30-55
Black Tea 40 - 60
Oolong Tea 50- 70
Coffee 100 - 120

Yes, all tea will naturally contain caffeine. Tea needs to undergo a decaffeination process to extract the caffeine, and then would be labeled as Decaffeinated Tea on our packaging.

None of our teas contain calories, but when blended with fruits they will possess a small amount of caloric energy potential.

None of our teas contain carbohydrates. Tea in its natural form (without added fruits, for example) does not have carbohydrates. Some of our teas like Berry Black or Lime Oasis, because they are fruits, are natural carbohydrates.

The FDA currently does not require nutritional facts to be listed or presented on retail packaging for teas or herbal teasans. This is due to the fact that the "Daily Nutritional Value" of the ingredients in tea and teasan products have not been established. Therefore, Numi products do not display nutritional facts on the package, nor do we have any nutritional information that has been evaluated by the FDA.

Our teabags are oxygen bleached rather than chlorine bleached, which means that they are treated with oxygen and not treated with bleach or any other chemicals.

Our unit boxes are 100% recyclable, our tea bags can be disposed in your compost bin. Our packaging is designed to ensure the freshest product possible for our consumer. We are actively pursuing alternative materials for over wrapping our teabags. This process requires extensive testing. Currently our overwrap contains both paper and foil and cannot be recycled in the same bin.

Our teabags are held together with a food-grade staple wire.

Yes tea strives to be a sustainable as possible in its packaging and business practices and is always searching to find new and alternative ways to present and package their premium teas for consumption. We are currently researching alternative biodegradable materials that can provide the same protection for items that the market demands. Below is some information on why Yes tea uses the packaging it does.
The poly/foil/paper (post-consumer waste) lining around each tea bag is to keep the integrity of the tea as fresh as can be for flavor as well as maintaining health properties such as the anti-oxidants. We pack each tea bag into a tamper-evident, oxygen and moisture barrier sealed over wrap, which prevents deterioration of components and is essential for preserving the stability of tea and herb ingredients. Exposure to air, light and humidity has a measurable negative impact on the quality of cut, dried herbs. The sealed tea bag over wrap assures that the flavor of the tea, herbs, flowers or spices remain intact until they reach the teacup.

The apple with a "K" symbol refers to Natural Food Certifiers. Natural Food Certifiers (NFC) gives kosher certification to only natural foods and natural alternative remedies. (They do not certify products with hydrogenated vegetable oils, for example.) NFC stands alone in certifying only natural food production. Natural Food Certifiers has as its goal: healthy foods, with a positive impact on the environment, in addition to the spiritual benefits derived from kosher foods. Thus, an NFC certified product is truly good for body and soul. This certification ensures Kosher and Pareve.

What is Halal certification?

Halal is an Arabic word meaning lawful or permitted. The opposite of Halal is haram, which means unlawful or prohibited. Halal and haram are universal terms that apply to all facets of life. By having our teas and teasans certified as Halal, we are saying that our teas contain no ingredients forbidden to people of the Muslim faith.

The National Standards Board (NOSB) of the USDA defines organic agriculture as:
Organic agriculture is an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity.
It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony.
The principal guidelines for organic production are to use materials and practices that enhance the ecological balance of natural systems and that integrate the parts of the farming system into an ecological whole.
The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of inter-dependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people.

Healthy! - Because the NOP prohibits the use of chemical pesticides, organic food is not only free of chemical pesticides; it can decrease and prevent chemical pesticides from getting into the water, earth and air. Some pesticides and fertilizers have been shown through extensive research to cause cancer and other diseases. The USDA's National Organic Program strictly forbids the use of GMOs and irradiation.
Ensures Quality - Producers of organic foods must adhere to strict standards, avoiding the use of toxic and persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Als, the soil must be free of these and other prohibited substances for three years before certification. Organic foods are minimally processed without artificial ingredients, preservatives, or irradiation to maintain the food's integrity.
Supports Sustainability - Soil fertility and health is maintained and replenished naturally with composted and plant wastes, rotated and alternated crops; using methods and materials that have low impact on the environment.

Our teas are certified by IMP, BCS, ECOCERT, OFDC, NOP needed in different organic markets.
