No health claims does not mean that we want to hide the qualities of our teas or ingredients. It simply means that we describe our products honestly and accurately without attributing effects that cannot be substantiated or legally communicated.
At TeaSense, you will find information about flavour, ingredients, origin and preparation. We do not claim that our teas can prevent, treat or cure diseases.
Why we do not make health claims
Tea is a food product, not a medicine. Food marketing is subject to legal regulations, including rules on health-related claims.
Health claims cannot be used freely. They must comply with the applicable legal requirements. Statements suggesting that a food can prevent, treat or cure diseases are not permitted.
These rules help protect consumers from misleading or unsubstantiated claims.
What are health claims?
A health claim is not limited to using the word “heal”. Any statement suggesting that a tea can reliably prevent, treat or relieve a medical condition may also be considered a health claim.
For this reason, we do not state that a particular tea helps with sleep, colds, digestion or other health conditions. Traditional use alone is not sufficient evidence for such claims.
Health-related claims are not always prohibited
Not every statement related to health is forbidden. Certain authorised health claims may be used if all legal requirements are fulfilled.
Nevertheless, we deliberately avoid general promises about the effects of our teas. Whether a claim is permitted depends on the exact wording, the ingredient and the finished product.
Clear product information instead of promises
Even without health claims, you can learn a great deal about a tea. Our product descriptions focus on:
- the ingredients
- the flavour and aroma
- the type of tea or blend
- the recommended preparation
- special taste characteristics
This helps you choose a tea based on your personal preferences rather than expectations of health effects.
How we select our teas
Before adding a tea to our range, we taste and evaluate it carefully. We pay attention to flavour, composition, processing and clear product information.
We want to offer teas that convince us through their quality and taste. At the same time, we avoid absolute statements that cannot be objectively verified.
Transparency builds trust
For us, avoiding health claims is part of honest communication. We do not want to promise something that a food product cannot deliver or use health concerns as a marketing tool.
Our teas are made to be enjoyed. Their ingredients, aromas and preparation methods make each tea unique, even without medical promises.

Conclusion
No health claims means honest product descriptions instead of exaggerated promises. We focus on what we can describe transparently: ingredients, flavour, origin and preparation.
