Lavazza Blue Al Limon — 50 capsules

Yes — contains theine (~40 mg/cup). Comparison:

• Al Limon (black tea) : ~40 mg theine/cup — black tea base with a higher theine content than green tea.
• Blue Mint (green tea) : ~30 mg theine/cup — slightly less.
• espresso coffee Blue Classic : ~80-110 mg caffeine/cup — 2 to 3 times more stimulating.
• Blue Red Fruit Tea : 0 mg theine (pure infusion without tea leaves).

Recommendation: Suitable for an afternoon break (2-5 pm) and a gentle energizer. Avoid in the evening before bed if you are sensitive to stimulants. For a caffeine-free evening herbal tea, choose Blue Red Fruit Tea or Delta Q Relax.

Bergamot ( Citrus bergamia ) is a historic Italian citrus fruit cultivated mainly in Calabria ( southern Italy). Its characteristics:

• Unique aroma — combines notes of lemon, bitter orange and floral notes (jasmine, neroli).
• Historically used in Earl Grey teas (black tea flavored with bergamot since the 19th century).
• It is the signature ingredient of legendary perfumes (Chanel N°5, Shalimar, Italian colognes).

In Al Limon, bergamot softens the bright acidity of pure lemon with its floral and slightly spicy notes — a more balanced and complex result than a simple lemon tea.

Traditional method of Italian "tè freddo al limone" :

1. Extract 1 hot Al Limon capsule (~100 mL) on Blue.
2. Sweeten immediately while the infusion is still hot (1-2 pieces of sugar or 1 tbsp honey) — sugar dissolves better when hot.
3. Pour over ice cubes in a large clear glass (~250 mL).
4. Add a slice of fresh lemon and optionally a fresh mint leaf.

The result: authentic Italian iced tea — refreshing, tangy, and gently energizing. Perfect for a summer patio, a summer office break, or a non-alcoholic aperitif. Keeps for 1-2 days in the fridge (prepare in advance in a pitcher for entertaining).

Yes, no added sugar in the capsule. The composition is simply black tea + natural lemon/bergamot flavorings — no sugar or sweeteners. You can sweeten to taste after brewing (honey, sugar, stevia), or enjoy it plain. Al Limon is naturally tangy thanks to the lemon, so it's generally enjoyed very lightly sweetened (one sugar cube is enough) or plain. Suitable for sugar-free, diabetic, and low-carb diets.

Three Blue teas/infusions with very different profiles:

• Mint — green tea + mint, contains ~30 mg of theine, fresh, herbaceous notes. Ideal for digestion after meals and in summer.
• Al Limon (this product) — black tea + lemon + bergamot, contains ~40 mg of theine, full-bodied fruity and tangy notes. Ideal for a gentle energizing afternoon or summer iced tea.
• Red Fruit Tea — hibiscus/raspberry/blackcurrant infusion, caffeine-free, with tangy fruity notes. Ideal for evenings, pregnant women, and children.

Al Limon is the gentle energizing choice for lovers of Earl Grey-style flavored black tea or Italian iced tea.
