No, orange curly mint tea made only with curly mint and orange is naturally caffeine-free. If the blend also contains black or green tea, it will contain caffeine, so check the ingredients on packaged blends.

Yes, orange curly mint tea contributes to fluid intake. Unsweetened tea can be a refreshing alternative to water, but it should not be your only drink; include plain water through the day as well.

Orange curly mint tea is an herbal infusion made by steeping curly mint leaves with orange peel or orange flavouring. It is not a black tea, and recipes may use fresh or dried mint. The mint brings a cool, gently sweet aroma, while orange adds a fragrant citrus note. Served hot, it is soothingly aromatic; chilled, it makes a refreshing drink for warmer weather.
It can be enjoyed plain after a meal or as an afternoon drink, and is easy to serve either hot or over ice. Unsweetened, it is very low in calories. Add a strip of orange peel while steeping for a brighter citrus flavour, or sweeten to taste if you prefer—just bear in mind that added sugar or honey changes its nutritional profile.
