All gifts of nature soothe our senses in their own unique way - the mesmerizing views when rainbows adorn the skies, the feeling of sand slipping from under our feet, the sound of leaves rustling and birds chirping, the sweet scent emanating from the earth each time it rains, and flavorful ingredients coming together in Tisane tea blends to bring us sheer delight. There’s no better way to experience the finest of nature than in the form of inviting infusions. So, what is tisane tea, what are the tisane tea benefits, and how to brew them right?
Unlike true tea types (Green tea, Black tea, White tea, Oolong tea), Tisane teas do not come from the Camellia Sinensis plant. They are infusions made from leaves, bark, roots, berries, seeds, spices, mint, chamomile, verbena, and rooibos. These health packed ingredients are the reason why Tisanes are also called Herbal teas.

2. Rooibos Tea
The deep red leaves of South Africa’s Rooibos unfurl to create a beautiful, aromatic red infusion. When migrants settled in the Cederberg Mountains of South Africa in 1700, they discovered the fine leaves of a plant that brewed into a delicious tea. Local farmers learnt to chop the plants, leave them to ferment in the sun and dry naturally, before it was brewed. By 1900, Benjamin Ginsberg, a Russian immigrant from an old tea-trading family, recognized the potential of Rooibos and began marketing this new mountain tea to the world.
