Tisanes
are not tea at all, but are edible flowers and herbs, dried and
blended to be steeped and enjoyed
as a hot beverage in place of tea. Most often tisanes are caffeine
free, but some can contain more caffeine than coffee. We cannot speak
for other tea companies, but our tisanes are always caffeine free.
Each
one will
give you a unique, fragrant and simple
infusion and can be enjoyed iced as well
as hot.
![]() Pronounced roy-bus, African for red bush, is often referred to as "red tea" because when fermented, its needle-like leaves turn a rich, red colour. Unfermented Rooibos or green Rooibos contains more polyphenol antioxidants than "red" or fermented Rooibos because fermented Rooibos loses some antioxidants during the fermentation process. Because rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, it can be enjoyed by those who want to avoid the stimulating effects of caffeine. And, because it does not have to be subjected to a decaffeination process, it does not lose any of its polyphenol content (which does occur when green and black teas are decaffeinated). For centuries, South Africans have used this caffeine-free herb to calm digestive upsets, to help induce sleep, and topically to sooth eczema, skin allergies, and diaper rash. |

Although
real tea is, by definition, a botanical, we do not include real teas
here. Our Botanicals category consists of edible flowers and herbs,
each providing a caffeine-free, satisfying infusion. You may be
surprised to know that most ancient cultures have been
practicing the art of blending herbs to make infusions since
the beginning of time. The first tea bags were actually created
by Native Americans to contain homemade herbal poultices used
to disinfect wounds. |
