Lavazza Blue Mint — 15 capsules

Contains theine (the name given to the caffeine in tea, chemically identical). Quantity:

• ~30 mg per cup — the equivalent of about 1/3 of a classic espresso.
• 2 to 3 times less coffee Blue Amabile or Intenso

For a drink strictly free of caffeine and theine, choose pure infusions: Lavazza Blue Red Fruit Tea (hibiscus/fruit without theine) or Delta Q Relax (verbena/chamomile/linden herbal tea).

Yes, no added sugar in the capsule. The typical composition is simply green tea + natural mint flavoring — no sugar or sweeteners. You can sweeten to taste after brewing, or drink it plain. Moroccan tradition generously sweetens mint tea (2-3 pieces per cup), while Asian tradition prefers it plain. Suitable for sugar-free, diabetic, and low-carb diets.

With caution — contains theine. Recommendations for pregnant women are:

• Limit total caffeine (coffee + tea + chocolate + soda) to less than 200 mg/day during pregnancy (WHO and French authorities recommendation).
• One cup of Lavazza Blue Mint = ~30 mg theine → possible 1-2 cups/day without exceeding the limit if little other caffeine intake.
• During breastfeedingapply , as theine passes into breast milk.

For a 100% caffeine-free herbal tea, choose Blue Red Fruit Tea or Delta Q Relax. Consult your doctor/midwife if you have any doubts.

Use the long coffee/lungo button for a 90-120 mL extraction (like a long coffee). Technical details:

• Hot water percolates through finely ground tea leaves at high pressure (~15-19 bars Bluemachine).
• The extraction is faster than a classic teapot infusion (~3-5 min at ~85 °C) but effective thanks to the fineness of the grind.
• Result: clear to greenish amber infusion , corresponding in concentration to a classic tea bag.

Do not use the short espresso button (25-35 mL) as it will produce an overly concentrated and bitter infusion.

Three Blue teas/infusions with very different profiles:

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

Mint is the classic digestive choice, Al Limon provides the gentle energy of flavored black tea, Red Fruits is the 100% infusion, zero-caffeine.
