A herbal tea, tisane, or ptisan is a herbal or plant infusion and usually not
made from the leaves of the tea
bush (Camellia
sinensis). Typically, herbal tea is simply the combination of
boiling water and dried fruits, flowers or herbs. Herbal tea has been imbibed
for nearly as long as written history extends.
Herbal 'teas' contain no true tea
leaves, but are created from an international collection of herbs and spices
such as Moroccan rosebuds, Oregon mint, tropical hibiscus, cinnamon from
Indonesia, and more. These all-natural botanical ingredients are combined to
create exciting flavors and aromas in a rainbow of colors from pale yellow to
deep red. Each Stash herbal tea has a unique taste and aroma. Our herbal teas
are naturally caffeine free.
It was ancient Chinese herbalists who first appreciated the properties
of tea. 5,000 years later, scientists are beginning to agree with them.
Herbal teas are often consumed for their physical or medicinal effects,
especially for their stimulant,
relaxant or sedative properties. The
medicinal effects of certain herbs are discussed under herbalism.
Available as pure or blended samples, herbal teas are popular because of their
fragrance, antioxidant properties and therapeutic applications.
