Good to know

Questions, answered

Is Release a calming tea?
Release is a caffeine-free afternoon herbal tea of hawthorn leaf, lemon balm, linden and rosehip, finished with apple and vanilla. It is made for a slower moment in the middle of the day, without caffeine.
Can I drink Release when pregnant or breastfeeding?
Please check with your midwife or GP first. Release is caffeine-free, but some of its botanicals, such as hawthorn, have little research in pregnancy.
What is hawthorn, and why is it in RELEASE?
Hawthorn leaf is a classic European botanical valued in folk tradition for centuries. In RELEASE it adds structure and a mellow, rounded depth to the cup, and it’s the ingredient that first inspired Cultever.
Does RELEASE taste medicinal?
Not at all — hawthorn leaf sits alongside tart rosehip, linden flower and lemon balm, finishing with a soft apple, vanilla and mint afterglow.
Is RELEASE caffeine-free?
Yes — 100% naturally caffeine-free, made as a gentle afternoon reset.
Will it make me sleepy at my desk?
No — it’s caffeine-free but not sedating; a settled, unhurried afternoon cup rather than something that slows you down.
Why coarse-cut botanicals instead of powdered?
Whole and coarsely-cut botanicals hold their aroma and character until hot water hits them, for a cleaner, more complex cup than fast-oxidising powders.
Can I serve RELEASE over ice?
Beautifully — cold-brew overnight to bring out the tartness and ruby colour for a hot-afternoon refresher.
