Tea 101:

  • Camellia sinensis is the plant responsible for all true teas (green, black, white, oolong, and pu-erh). Here’s a quick breakdown:

    1. One Plant, Many Teas – All traditional teas come from Camellia sinensis, with differences in flavor and caffeine levels depending on how the leaves are processed.

    2. Rich in Antioxidants – This plant is packed with catechins and polyphenols, which support heart health, digestion, and overall wellness.

    3. Caffeine with Balance – Naturally contains caffeine but also includes L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm focus without the jitters of coffee.

  • Tisane (pronounced tee-zahn) refers to herbal infusions that aren’t made from Camellia sinensis, meaning they are not technically tea. Here’s a simple breakdown:

    1. Caffeine-Free & Herbal – Made from flowers, herbs, fruits, and spices, tisanes are naturally caffeine-free (unless mixed with real tea leaves).

    2. Endless Variety – Popular types include chamomile (calming), peppermint (digestive aid), hibiscus (tart & vitamin-rich), and rooibos (earthy & antioxidant-packed).

    3. Steeped for Wellness – Tisanes are often used for their health benefits, from aiding sleep to boosting immunity, depending on the ingredients.

  • 1. Ginger Honey – A powerhouse combo of spice and sweetness, ginger honey adds a warm, slightly peppery kick to teas while also aiding digestion and immunity.

    2. Lavender Syrup – A floral, aromatic sweetener that enhances teas with a subtle, soothing flavor—perfect for relaxation and pairing with herbal or floral blends.
