Frequently Asked Questions
How do I brew OKU tea?
Steep one teabag in freshly boiled water for 5-10 minutes — the longer you steep, the stronger and more full-bodied the flavour. Some of our herbs (like Kūmarahou) have a naturally bitter taste, so steep to your preference and add a touch of honey if you'd like to soften it.
How many cups can I drink a day?
Most people enjoy 1-3 cups a day. As with any herbal tea, if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication, or have a health condition, check with your healthcare provider before making it a regular part of your routine.
What does "wildharvested" mean?
It means the herb is sustainably hand-harvested from its natural wild environment (native NZ bush), rather than commercially cultivated — many of our native NZ herbs, like Kawakawa and Kūmarahou, are gathered this way.
Are these teas caffeinated?
Most of our blends are naturally caffeine-free, made from 100% herbs. The exception is our Energise blend, which contains Yerba Maté and green tea, both of which contain natural caffeine (gentler than coffee, without the jitters).
How should I store my tea?
Keep the tube sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the natural oils and potency of the herbs.
Are these teas a substitute for medical treatment?
No — our teas are traditional herbal blends intended to support general wellbeing, not to diagnose, treat or cure any condition. If you have ongoing health concerns, please see your healthcare provider.
