Understanding Herbal Tea: More Than Just a Warm Drink
Herbal tea, scientifically known as a tisane or herbal infusion, represents a beverage category distinct from what most people call "regular" tea. The term encompasses any warm drink created by steeping plant material—including leaves, flowers, roots, bark, seeds, and spices—in hot water.

Traditional Use
The fundamental difference between herbal infusions and true teas lies in their botanical origin. Traditional teas (green, black, oolong, white) all originate from the Camellia sinensis plant and naturally contain caffeine. Herbal infusions, by contrast, can be made from countless plant species and typically contain no caffeine unless deliberately blended with conventional tea leaves.
The Science Behind Herbal Infusions
When you pour hot water over dried herbs, flowers, or roots, you initiate an extraction process. Heat causes water-soluble compounds—including flavonoids, alkaloids, volatile oils, and polyphenols—to dissolve into the liquid. These bioactive compounds are responsible for both the taste and the traditionally recognized properties of herbal infusions.
