10 Delicious Herbal Teas to Drink in honor of Downton Abbey
According to my DNA, I don’t have a ton of British in me. I gather this is why I like hot tea…but can’t do the caffeine part. So authentic English tea for me. However, my husband is at least 50% British and loves his black tea. He’ll have a spot of milk in his, please (and he’s now on decaf, too, but likes the black stuff still). As it turns out, there are some really good herbal and naturally decaffeinated teas out there. So, I thought I’d share 10 of my my favorite herbal teas to drink, especially while watching a British show or movie like Downton Abbey.
10 of My Favorite Herbal Teas
Numi Organic Tea Rooibos Chai, Caffeine-Free
This organic caffeine-free chai blends rich rooibos and a sultry blend of spices. Piquant cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon mingle with sweet allspice, ginger, and a kiss of cardamom. I like to add a bit of sweetener and some almond milk to this chai to make my own version of a chai latte.

Yes, like the syrup and gummies for the kids. This tea is made from fresh elderberries may be described as tart fro some, but I find it to have a finish with a mild sweetness!
