Hippopot teas are made exclusively from dried herbs and (in some blends) fruits. We don’t use anything from the tea plant. As such, they are not really “tea”. The proper name is “tisane”. But most people call these herbal infusions, “tea”. And we are happy to go along with that. Just so long as you know that Hippopot teas contain no green or black tea, no caffeine, and certainly no additives or preservatives. Just natural herbs for you to enjoy!
We sell a wide selection of herbal teas. Each product is a blend of several herbs which are combined to give a healthy drink with a great taste. The blend of herbs has been formulated by Alice Nugent, the founder of Hippopot Herbs, who is a qualified Medical Herbalist.
The easiest place to buy your Hippopot tea is online at www.hippopot.co.uk/the-tea-shop. We also have several stockists, and we go to various food markets and fairs. You can find them here: www.hippopot.co.uk/where-to-buy.
The founder of Hippopot, Alice Nugent, recalls as a child seeing families of hippopotamus chilling in the waters of the Zambezi river between Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique.
She hopes you will be as chilled as the hippo when you drink Hippopot tea!
