WHAT ARE HERBAL TEAS & INFUSIONS?

Despite the familiar name, many herbal “teas” are technically infusions or tisanes rather than true tea.

Traditional tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant and includes:

• Green tea

• Black tea

• White tea

• Oolong tea

Herbal infusions can instead be prepared from:

• Leaves

• Flowers

• Roots

• Bark

• Seeds

• Fruits and berries

• Spices

This allows herbal blends to deliver a wide range of flavours and naturally occurring botanical compounds.

FAQ

Are herbal teas caffeine-free?
Most pure herbal infusions are naturally caffeine-free, but not all products marketed as herbal blends are. Products containing green tea, black tea, matcha, yerba mate, or other caffeinated plants can contain caffeine.

What herbal tea is best before bed?
Chamomile, lemon balm, lavender, passionflower, and selected valerian-containing blends are commonly used as part of evening relaxation routines.

Which herbal tea is good for digestion?
Peppermint, ginger, fennel, and chamomile are popular digestive botanicals. The most appropriate choice depends on the type of digestive discomfort.

Can I drink herbal tea every day?
Many culinary herbal teas can be enjoyed regularly, but some medicinal herbs have specific dosing limits, contraindications, or recommended durations of use. Check the individual product directions.

Can I drink herbal tea during pregnancy?
Not every herb is appropriate during pregnancy. Check individual ingredients and consult a healthcare professional before regularly using medicinal herbal blends while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Are herbal teas a good source of antioxidants?
Many botanicals contain naturally occurring polyphenols and other antioxidant compounds, although the amount varies considerably by plant, preparation, and serving size.

Can herbal tea replace water?
Unsweetened caffeine-free herbal infusions can contribute to daily fluid intake, but maintaining adequate overall hydration remains important.

Is loose-leaf tea better than tea bags?
Not necessarily. Quality depends more on the botanical ingredients, sourcing, freshness, processing, and formulation than on whether the product comes loose or in a tea bag.
