Short answer: herbal tea is brewed from plants other than the tea plant, such as flowers, leaves, roots and bark; as long as no tea leaves are added, it is naturally caffeine-free. Commercial herbal tea means herbal ingredients supplied to beverage shops, restaurants and hotels, where what matters is consistent specs, reliable volume and easy blending with tea for signature drinks. ■ Commercial vs. retail herbal tea - Consistent specs: flavor and cut size must match batch to batch so every store pours the same drink. - Pack size: mostly bulk and commercial packs for easy prep. - Use: besides serving it straight, it is often blended with tea or used as the flavor base for fruit teas and specials. ■ Frastea herbal teas Frastea currently offers 8 single-origin herbal teas: mint, marigold, ginger, cinnamon, lemongrass, perilla, hibiscus and stevia. All are naturally caffeine-free and supplied in bulk. ■ How to pair tea with herbs - Green tea + fresh or floral herbs: mint, lemongrass or marigold give a bright cup that works well iced (e.g. Mint Green Tea, Lemongrass Green Tea, Marigold Green Tea). - Black tea + warm spices: ginger or cinnamon give a fuller cup for hot drinks and milk tea (e.g. Ginger Black Tea, Cinnamon Black Tea). - Herb + herb: perilla with hibiscus is tangy and herbal (e.g. Perilla Hibiscus). - Sweetness: stevia is naturally sweet; a small amount reduces the need for added sugar. Rule of thumb: the stronger the tea base, the more pronounced the herb should be; the stronger the herb (ginger, cinnamon), the less you need so it does not mask the tea. Note: flavored teas that contain tea leaves (such as Sweet Perilla and Perilla Hibiscus) still contain caffeine; follow the product page when labelling.簡單回答：草本茶（花草茶）是用茶樹以外的植物，例如花、葉、根、樹皮沖泡的飲品；只要沒有加入茶葉，就天然不含咖啡因。「商用草本茶」指的是供飲料店、餐廳、飯店使用的草本原料，重點是規格穩定、可大量供應，並且方便和茶葉調配成招牌飲品。 ■ 商用草本茶和一般零售花草茶的差別・規格穩定：每批風味、切碎程度要一致，門店出杯才會穩定。・包裝量：以散裝、商用包裝為主，方便門店備料。・用途：除了單喝，更常拿來和茶葉調配，或做為水果茶、特調的風味來源。 ■ Frastea 的草本茶 Frastea 目前提供 8 款單一產地草本茶：薄荷、金盞花、薑、肉桂、檸檬香茅、紫蘇、洛神花、甜菊，皆天然不含咖啡因，以散裝規格供應。 ■ 茶和草本怎麼搭配・綠茶＋清新或花香草本：薄荷、檸檬香茅、金盞花，風味明亮，適合冰飲（例：薄荷綠茶、檸檬香茅綠茶、金盞花綠茶）。・紅茶＋溫暖辛香草本：薑、肉桂，風味厚實，適合熱飲與奶茶（例：薑紅茶、肉桂紅茶）。・草本＋草本：紫蘇搭配洛神花，酸甜帶草本香（例：紫蘇洛神）。・調整甜感：甜菊天然帶甜味，可少量加入，降低額外加糖的需求。搭配原則：茶底越濃，越需要風味明顯的草本；草本越強烈（如薑、肉桂），用量越要節制，避免蓋過茶香。注意：含茶葉的風味茶（例如甜韻紫蘇、紫蘇洛神）仍含有咖啡因，標示時請以茶品頁為準。
