What Are Chinese Herbal Infusion Teas?

Not technically tea, but five thousand years of plant wisdom in a cup — a quick primer on what herbal infusion teas actually are.

What Are Chinese Herbal Infusion Teas?

As the name implies, Chinese Herbal Infusion Teas are beverages made from the infusion or decoction of herbs, flowers, or other plant material in hot water. The term "herbal tea" is often used in contrast to true teas, which are prepared from the cured leaves of the tea plant.

Chinese herbs have a long history, which can be traced back to Shennong's Herbal Classic — Shennong is believed to have lived 5,000 years ago.

Drinking Chinese Herbal Infusion Teas is a very convenient way to enjoy the benefits — we can choose the blends based on our body's needs. As they don't contain any caffeine, those who are sensitive to caffeine, or even pregnant ladies, can enjoy them too. As they become more popular nowadays, we just have to take extra precautions, as not all herbs are suitable for everyone or for long-term consumption.
