World of herbal teas extend beyond our imaginations having a common tastes world wide. Since time immemorial herbal teas are the part of humans and have been accompanying them on all their occasions and in all their emotions.

Herbal teas are surging in popularity thanks to the positive publicity surrounding herbal teas benefits and the vast array of delectable flavors available to consumers.

Herbal teas are nowhere related to the teas forms that we generally consume. Its only similarity with the regular teas is that the herbal teas are brewed in a similar manner.

When you enjoy a healthy cup or several mugs of herbal tea each day, you are actually consuming a herbal infusion – also known as tisane – rather than actual brewed "tea."

Herbal infusions (Tisanes) are brewing of medicinal herbs in water. They look like teas – yet they do not come from the Camellia sinensis bush, the plant from which all teas are made. Instead, Herbal infusions (Tisanes) are made from carefully planned and measured mixtures of botanicals.

A herbal infusion may contain select dried leaves, pieces of ripe fruit, flowers, grasses, nuts, barks, seeds or other botanicals that give them their taste and contribute to an array of folk and researched-based herbal tea benefits having one or the other healing properties. Blending the flavors of different herbs results in an infinite variety of healthful taste sensations, and in fact, this exploration is one of the greatest pleasures of working with herbs.

Plants produce a wide range of chemicals in the normal course of their metabolic activities. These chemicals serve different functions for the plant. Some of these chemicals are beneficial to humans. When herbal teas are being brewed, it is these chemicals in the herbs that are decocted in water.

The reason for the popularity of herbal teas is that they do not contain the smallest hint of caffeine or tannin as compared to the regular types of teas, which accounts in part for their mellow, soothing personality—and their growing popularity in todays hectic, high-pressure world.
