Herbal & Botanical Teas

 

Herbal teas—also called botanical or tisane teas—are a major part of the tea world, but did you know they're not technically teas? What is commonly referred to as an "herbal tea" is actually an  infusion  or  decoction  made from things like roots, flowers, herbs etc… Technically speaking, only a beverage made from the leaves of Camellia Sinesis is a tea.

Herbal teas are caffeine free and can be served hot or cold.
