Taste Profile
Delta Q Relax is a caffeine-free infusion in Delta Q capsules — it's not coffee but herbal tea. Traditional composition of relaxing plants:
- Verbena officinalis — a plant with soothing and digestive properties, fresh herbaceous notes.
- Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) — an emblematic plant of sleep and relaxation, with sweet floral notes slightly honeyed.
- Linden (Tilia) — tree with dried flowers known for relaxing effects, sweet and woody notes.
This blend is traditionally used in the evening or before bedtime to promote relaxation and a more peaceful sleep. In the cup: a clear and smooth infusion with dominant notes of fresh verbena , honey chamomile , and woody linden . Delta Q Relax infusion is caffeine-free and theine-free , with no added sugar, and suitable for everyone (adults, seniors, and pregnant women with medical advice). The capsule format offers three advantages over traditional tea bags: rapid extraction (~30 seconds vs. 5-10 minutes for a tea bag), precise and consistent dosing , and no tea bag to discard . Ideal for households already equipped with a Delta Q machine who want to add variety to their evening infusions without having to buy a separate kettle.

Frequently Asked Questions
This isn't coffee — it's really herbal tea?
Confirmed — it's definitely herbal tea, not coffee. Ingredients: lemon verbena, chamomile, linden (mixed dried herbs). Coffee-free, caffeine-free, theine-free, no added sugar. Perfect for relaxing moments in the evening or before bed. The Delta Q capsule format is simply a convenient container that uses your espresso machine to brew the herbal tea, but the capsule's contents remain a 100% plant-based blend.
How to properly extract herbal tea using an espresso machine?
Use the long coffee/lungo button for a 90-110 mL extraction (like a long coffee). Technical details:
- Hot water percolates through the plant mixture like a filter tea — it is a pressure-accelerated infusion.
- High-pressure espresso machine extraction (~15-19 bars) is faster than a classic teapot infusion (~5-10 min at ~85 °C), but remains effective thanks to the fineness of the pre-ground plant mixture.
- The result is a clear to amber infusion, corresponding in concentration to a classic herbal tea bag.
Do not use the short espresso button (30 mL) as it will produce an overly concentrated and bitter infusion.
Suitable for pregnant women and children?
Generally well tolerated, but with caution :
- Pregnant/breastfeeding women — chamomile and linden are generally safe during pregnancy (confirm with your doctor/midwife). Vervain is sometimes not recommended for prolonged use during pregnancy — consult your healthcare professional before regular use.
- Children — suitable from 3-4 years old in small quantities (herbal tea sweetened with a little honey). Avoid before 1 year old.
- Drug treatments — some interactions are possible (verbena + anticoagulants in particular). Consult your pharmacist if you are taking any medication.
Consume in moderation — active plants, not harmless.
Relax vs Bio vs Canela — three Delta Q “specials”?
Three very different positions :
- Relax (this product) — verbena/chamomile/linden herbal tea, without coffee or caffeine. Use: relaxing evening, before bedtime.
- Organic — 100% organic Arabica coffee, classic caffeinated. Use: responsible daily/organic commitment.
- Canela — cinnamon-flavored coffee, caffeinated (~60-80 mg/cup). Use: gourmet cappuccino, autumn-winter coffee.
The Relax is the only one without caffeine — the other two are indeed classic coffee.
