Herbals |
| Technically speaking, Herbals contain no actual tea and so the term infusion or tisane would be more correct. For thousands of years people have consumed herbs for their healing or health maintenance properties. Today, flowers, fruits, leaves, bark, roots, seeds and even nuts are also combined to create wonderful and exotic tasting drinks. Most Herbals have little or no caffeine. Some may have an acquired taste while others are easily enjoyed. |
