What is tea herbal?

Tea herbal refers to a beverage made from a variety of plant, herb, and spice infusions, rather than the typical tea plant, Camellia sinensis. These herbal infusions are often called "tisanes" and can be consumed hot or cold.

Herbal tea is believed to have numerous health benefits, depending on the specific infusion. Chamomile tea, for example, is known for its calming properties and ability to aid in digestion. Ginger tea is often consumed to alleviate nausea and soothe sore throats. Peppermint tea is known for its ability to aid in digestion and relieve headaches.

Herbal tea is a popular alternative to traditional tea due to its lack of caffeine, making it a great option for those looking for a non-stimulating beverage. It also typically has a lower tannin content, resulting in a less bitter taste than traditional teas.

Common herbal tea ingredients include chamomile, peppermint, ginger, echinacea, hibiscus, and dandelion. Many herbal infusions also include a combination of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom.
