Our Bulk Teas and Tisanes are made with the freshest and highest quality leaves, dried to perfection to maintain the most of their nutrients and health benefits.
Tisanes and teas are both brewed beverages made from plants, but they differ primarily in their ingredients:
-
Teas:
- Made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which includes varieties like green tea, black tea, white tea, and oolong tea.
- Contains caffeine, naturally occurring in tea leaves.
- May also contain antioxidants, polyphenols, and other compounds known for their health benefits.
-
Tisanes:
- Also known as herbal teas, but they are not made from the tea plant (Camellia sinensis).
- Made from a blend of herbs, flowers, fruits, spices, and other plant materials.
- Naturally caffeine-free (unless ingredients like guayusa or yerba mate are included).
- Popular examples include chamomile, peppermint, hibiscus, and rooibos.
In summary, while all teas are derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, tisanes are an infusion of other plant materials and do not contain traditional tea leaves.
So enjoy our teas and tisanes knowing they are the finest, award-winning herbs packed with exquisite taste, full-body strength, and powerful aroma. Go ahead and Buy with confidence.
