Frequently Asked Questions

Tea 🌿

Why are EQ State teas more expensive than grocery store teas?

Because what’s inside truly matters.

Grocery teas use leftover dust and fillers to lower their cost. We source whole, premium botanicals and pack them fresh in Ontario. You get up to 4× more active botanicals per cup - no stems, no plastic, no shortcuts.

The difference is in the taste, aroma, and how your body feels after each sip.

How is EQ State different from other loose-leaf tea companies?

Every EQ State blend starts with a function-first formula - flavour comes next.

We combine ancient herbal wisdom with modern wellness science to create teas that are both delicious and effective.

Each blend is:
• Made with triple-filtered botanicals
• Free from sugars, fillers, and artificial additives
• Ethically sourced & small-batch blended in Ontario

Common functions:
Tulsi + Ashwagandha → stress resilience
Turmeric + Ginger → immune + inflammation support
Chamomile + Valerian → deep, restful sleep

I’m not a big herbal-tea person. Will I like the taste?

We hear that all the time - and we love proving it wrong.

Our blends are balanced, not bitter, featuring real fruit, fresh herbs, and a naturally smooth sweetness - never artificial flavouring.

Even 'non-tea-drinkers' tell usit’s become their favorite part of the day.

How fresh are your teas - and how long do they stay that way?

Exceptionally fresh - from the moment we blend to your last cup.

Unlike grocery-store teas that often sit on shelves for months, losing their aroma and potency, every EQ State blend is:

  • Small-batch crafted in Ontario
  • Vacuum-sealed and nitrogen-flushed right after blending
  • Stored in resealable pouches to lock in freshness and flavour

The result? A cup that smells and tastes alive - rich in botanicals, bursting with real aroma.

When stored in a cool, dark place, our teas stay fresh for 12 to 18 months.

Do I need any special tools to brew your teas?

No fancy gear - just hot water and a cup!

That said, our EQ Infuser, Timer, Spoon, and Steeper make steeping effortless - beautiful, mess-free, and perfect every time.

They’re included in our gift sets, so you can start your ritual right out of the box.

Are there any artificial flavours or sweeteners?

Never.
Our teas are naturally flavoured with dried fruit, herbs, and flowers. Any sweetness you taste comes straight from nature - no artificial sweeteners, no 'diet soda' aftertaste, ever.

Can I drink EQ State teas if I’m sensitive to caffeine?

Absolutely.
Most of our blends are naturally caffeine-free, while a few gentle green and black teas offer calm, sustained focus thanks to L-theanine - no spikes, crashes, or jitters.
Approximate caffeine levels:

  • Herbal teas: 0 mg
  • Green teas: 20–30 mg (25% cup of coffee)
  • Black teas: 40–50 mg (50% cup of coffee)
