Strictly speaking, herbal teas are actually not teas, but an infusion comprised of herbs, botanicals, fruits, roots or seeds rather than the leaves from the tea plant camellia sinensis. Herbal teas are naturally caffeine free and are perfect for children and adults alike. They are savored daily by hundreds of millions of people around the world for everything from just their diverse flavors to the meditative state of mind they foster. Examples of herbal teas are chamomile, peppermint, and fruit blends.
