How much caffeine is in Sage Lemon Leaf Infusion?

Sage Lemon Leaf Infusion is naturally caffeine-free, so each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains no measurable caffeine.

What temperature should I use for Sage Lemon Leaf Infusion?

Target 95°C (203°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Sage Lemon Leaf Infusion be extracted?

Extract for 5:00-7:00 using Covered Mug Infusion, at a ratio of 3g leaves per 240ml, prepared at Whole Leaf. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Sage Lemon Leaf Infusion taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Sage Lemon Leaf Infusion?

Botanical ingredients can interact with medicines or allergies; confirm identity and seek qualified advice when needed. Use individualized guidance for pregnancy, medication interactions, allergies, reflux, or other health concerns. Do not use a beverage as a replacement for prescribed care; preparation strength can change exposure. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.
