What is herbal tea?
Quick Answer
Herbal tea is an infusion made from herbs, flowers, spices, or roots, like fruit tea, it contains no actual tea leaves, so it's naturally caffeine-free.
A Little More
"Herbal tea" is really an umbrella term covering a huge range of infusions, from calming camomile to warming ginger. Because they're not made from the tea plant, herbal teas tend to have gentler, more varied flavours, and many people reach for them in the evening or as a naturally caffeine-free alternative through the day.
Teaspoon Tip
If you're new to herbal tea, start with something familiar like peppermint or camomile before branching into more unusual blends.
