Tea & Health
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about tea? Is it loose-leaf tea in an infuser? Perhaps finely stone-ground matcha? Maybe even clippings of herbs and fruit?
Herbal Tisane
The idea behind drinking tea for health benefits isn't new. The earliest record of people drinking herbal teas for medicine dates back to 2737 BC in China.
South America
The Yerba maté plant, called Ilex paraguariensis, originated in Paraguay but is now also enjoyed in Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil.
How to brew it
Not all teas come from the Camellia sinensis tea plant. Teas that do not come from tea leaves are known as Tisanes (also known as herbal teas).
