One of the growing trends in the steeped drink arena is herbal teas or tisanes. Herbal teas are fresh or dried flowers, leaves, seeds or roots. The “tea” misnomer comes from the common steeping technique of the two drinks.

The main draw is the natural ingredients of the product and purported health benefits of consuming these teas. More on that in my next post.

A secondary benefit is the variety of ingredients produces a large number of taste possibilities. The variety of ingredient combinations guarantee an herbal tea to suit everyone’s taste. And likely quite a few hours of steeping enjoyment along the way.

Until next time – happy steeping.
