Tea and Tisanes

Tea refers to the beverage made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, and it includes varieties like black, green, oolong, and white tea, differing mainly by processing and oxidation levels. Tisanes, on the other hand, are herbal infusions made from a variety of plants other than tea leaves, including herbs, flowers, fruits, and spices. While traditional tea contains caffeine, tisanes are usually caffeine-free, offering a wide range of flavors and potential health benefits. Both can be enjoyed hot or cold and are popular for their calming, invigorating, or health-promoting properties.
