How You Can Choose the Best & Healthy Herbal Tea?
Want to get a good night’s sleep? Wanna get glowing, youthful skin? Do you want to increase your digestive power? Revitalize your soul? The abundance of benefits of drinking herbal tea may be the key to all the questions raised above.
With so many varieties and tisanes available, you can choose the herbal tea that best suits you and gives you the health benefits you’re looking for. Herbal tea shouldn’t be mistaken for one of the actual forms of tea, despite going by the term “tea.” You probably already know the only five authentic types of tea, which are green, white, black, oolong, and pu’erh teas, which are all produced by the Camellia Sinensis plant. Contrarily, herbal tea is an infusion of herbs and spices that are typically caffeine-free, low in calories, or even calorie-free, making it one of the healthiest beverages you could imagine.
Herbal Tea: What Is It?
Herbal tea can be prepared by steeping herbs, spices, or other plant material in hot water. Herbal tea is often referred to as tisane. Since they are not made from the Camellia sinensis tea plant, these teas, which are renowned for their many natural health benefits, lack caffeine.
The popularity of herbal teas has grown in recent years as more people become aware of their health benefits, despite the fact that they have been around for a very long time. Others adore herbal tea as part of their relaxation routine or just as a hot beverage to sip without caffeine. Some people drink herbal tea as part of their holistic wellness. When discussing herbal teas, the term tisane is used frequently throughout Europe. It’s still unclear how this phrase originated in terms of its etymology, but some believe it was taken from Middle English or Old French and, in plain English, was used to refer to a “medicine drink.” This is understandable because the history of herbal tea dates back to ancient times. Herbal tea is mentioned in the written histories of ancient China and ancient Greece, and even in the first century AD, the Greek physician Dioscorides listed hundreds of plants that might be steeped and drunk as a remedy for a variety of ills.
Herbal teas can be sipped hot or cold, and since they lack caffeine, they can be taken at any time of day or night. There are several varieties of herbal teas, just as there are numerous plants and other forms of flora in existence.
How to Choose the Best Herbal Tea
Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world after water. Since it has been produced, harvested, and consumed for a very long time, many regions of the world have created their own distinct types and cultures of tea. There are already over 3,000 blends on the market, and new addition of flavours are being created daily. With so many choices, it could be challenging to pick just one.
Choosing a cup of tea to sip on is like taking an entree from a menu. Just consider the flavors or components you enjoy, then look for a tea that matches. For example, if you love the taste of fruits, try our Mango Lemon Balm Prebiotic SuperBoost herbal tea. Our organic Dandelion Red Chai roasted herbal tea is an excellent option for those who want more floral flavors and smells. Moreover, our Hazelnut roasted herbal tea or Mocha roasted herbal tea will be a great transition for coffee drinkers who want to taste tea for the first time. That’s how simple it is!
