Herbal & fruit teas are teas made from herbs or fruit juices instead of just tea leaves from the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). Herbal tea can be made from just about any herb in existence and is also known as tisane. The name notes that the tea is not made from tea leaves. When you drink a cup of herbal/fruit tea, you are actually consuming a herbal/fruit infusion.

Many fruit teas are made from combinations of fruits, and some also include herbs and spices.

Herbal tea can be made from fresh or dried flowers, leaves, seeds or roots. The majority of herbal teas have medicinal properties.
