Herbal Tea
Herbal teas are not technically teas at all, as they contain no Camellia sinensis.
We call them herbal teas because calling them tisanes, which is technically correct, is a bit confusing (when was the last time you heard someone asking if you’d like a tisane?)
So Herbal Tea is any type of herbal and fruit infusion. The best known are probably Mint and Chamomile teas, though the South African Rooibos is also becoming increasingly popular (and not only because it’s red and looks really good if you drink it in a glass mug). Like most herbal teas, these three are all naturally caffeine free, so they’re the perfect balance to black teas.
Sadly, some other tea companies make their herbal teas with artificial flavours. We don’t. We only make tea the natural way.
