As Mother’s Day rolls around again, we think of ways to spend time with the special women in our lives – mums, grandmas, nanas, aunties & more. For many of us, memories of sharing a tea party with our maternal figures as kids is something we want to share with our own children.
While tea is often associated with adults & caffeine isn’t always something we want to load up on, there are plenty of kid-friendly options that little ones can enjoy alongside their grandparents. Read on to find some of our favourite tea picks the whole family can enjoy for any celebration!
Enjoy a Fresh Fruit Tisane.
Kids are sure to love the vibrant flavours of fruit tisanes, which are naturally caffeine-free and bursting with sweetness. We think your whole family will love the sweet and fruity flavours of red berries in our Strawberry Spritz and Red Fruits Teas.
Serve as is, or make into iced tea for a refreshing sip on those (rare) warmer May days.
Go Caffeine-free with Rooibos Tea
Rooibos tea, also known as red tea, is a caffeine-free herbal tea that boasts a mild and slightly sweet flavour profile. Younger sippers will appreciate its smooth and mellow taste, which pairs well with a splash of milk or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness. Rooibos tea is also rich in antioxidants and minerals, making it a healthy choice for little ones to enjoy alongside their grandparents.
Feeling indulgent? Our Chocolate Bomb Rooibos Tea has all our favourite things in it – tea, and chocolate pieces.
Enjoy a Classic Decaf Cuppa.
For kids who enjoy (or you think might enjoy) the flavours of a traditional cup of tea, a decaffeinated tea is a delicious option that tastes the same as regular tea, but without the caffeine. With decaf teas in all your favourite flavours including Earl Grey, Mumbai Chai, & Orange Pekoe, you can let your little ones enjoy the same tea as the rest of the family, without feeling left out (and without wrangling a bouncy caffeinated kiddo!)
Create Your Own Herbal Spritz
For a refreshing twist on traditional tea, why not serve up a batch of a fruity or herbal tea spritz? Simply steep your favourite caffeine-free herbal tea and mix it with freshly squeezed lemon juice and a touch of honey for sweetness. Serve over ice with a slice of lemon for a zesty and refreshing drink that’s sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike.
Need some inspiration? Why not try using Hibiscus Tea, Lemon Myrtle Tea, or Davidson’s Plum & Rosella Tea as your spritz base?
Whether you opt for fruity herbal blends, a classic decaf tea, or refreshing herbal lemonade, there’s a tea for every palate (big and small) to enjoy. With a little creativity, you can make Mother’s Day a truly unforgettable celebration for the whole family. Cheers to love, laughter, and a cup of tea!
