Herbal

Herbal infusions, often called tisanes or herbal teas, despite the fact that they do not have any actual leaves from the tea bush (Camellia sinensis), are caffeine free alternatives to tea or coffee for a hot drink. Rooibos and Mate are two examples of tisanes but herbal infusions can also cover a wide range of other beverages. They usually contain fruits, flowers, leaves and roots from various plants and are often drunk for their health benefits as well as for the flavour. Most are high in Vitamin C and some have very particular active ingredients with very specific effects.
