Originating in China, where it was thought to have medicinal
properties, tea's history is closely intertwined with the history of
botany and herbal medicine. Legend states that the very first cup of tea was
drunk in 2737BC by the Chinese emperor Shennong, believed to be the creator of
Chinese medicine.
Herbal teas are teas made from plants, seeds, flowers,
roots or fruits of all plants except Camellia sinensis (lipton/Kashmiri). They
have been used as natural home remedies for thousands hundreds and
thousands of years.
Before the invention of modern medicine, herbs-roots,leafs and
seeds were used for treating anything from infections to rashes and
fevers. Although many of them have been around for hundreds, if not thousands
of years, some of them still need more research to prove its benefits. However,
one thing is for sure–herbal teas have been deeply rooted into our
lives, and are often much more than just herbal remedies.
Benefits of herbal teas
With thousands of herbal teas come thousands of different
flavors and benefits. Some herbs may taste better in blends, some are
delicious on its own. Some cause no known side effects, while others should be
taken only under the professional supervision. If you decide
to use herbs for any health condition, even the minor ones, with herbal
remedies, always consult your doctor.
HOW LONG SHOULD I STEEP AN HERBAL TEA?
Herbal blends should be steeped for 5+ minutes at a temperature
of 212°F or 100°C.
Herbal blends typically contain a variety of plant herbs,
spices, flowers, roots, berries, and barks, while tisanes are typically infusions
of just dried fruits and berries.
DO HERBAL BLENDS CONTAIN CAFFEINE?
Herbal blends do not typically contain any caffeine (because
there is no camellia synensis in herbal blends), although they may contain
stimulating herbals such as yerba mate. It is important to always check the
ingredient listing, and if in doubt about if it is safe for your consumption,
consult professional medical advice.
