Every cup documented end to end — botanicals, brewing, timing and the honest limits.
01 — Caffeine free
ARQ Hibiscus Tea

Benefits
- —Designed as a caffeine-free beverage for any hour of the day

Brewing guide
- Water
- 100°C / 212°F
- Steep
- 5–7 minutes

Afternoon, hot or over ice
A tart, ruby-red caffeine-free infusion
FAQs
Is it caffeine-free?+
Yes. ARQ Hibiscus Tea contains no caffeine.
Why is it so tart?+

02 — Caffeine free
ARQ Lavender Tea

ARQ Blue Tea

Anthocyanins are pH sensitive. Acid from lemon shifts indigo to violet, then to pink.

Does it contain caffeine?+
