How often should I drink boldo tea?

Is boldo tea caffeine free?

Caffeine Content

Boldo tea is an herbal tea, not a "tea" in the traditional sense. That means it is not made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, like black tea or green tea. It is brewed just using parts of the boldo tree, which does not contain any caffeine.
