Do you know the difference between a true tea, a tisane, and an herbal brew? Understanding these botanical nuances allows you to brew with deeper appreciation, extraction precision, and therapeutic effect.
Key Takeaways
- True teas derive exclusively from Camellia sinensis (Black, Green, White, Oolong).
- Herbal infusions (tisanes) utilize roots, bark, flowers, and leaves without Camellia sinensis.
- Brewing temperature and steeping duration dramatically alter chemical extraction.
1. The Anatomy of True Teas vs Tisanes
