Herbal Infusion vs. Tea

[SilverVeil]

I love tea.

Or rather I should say I love teas and herbal infusions, because some of what I like to drink, and have been mistakenly been referring to as " tea " is actually herbal infusions.

I am not exactly sure what the difference is, but my thinking on the matter is :

Tea ( Lipton, Tetley, and the other brand names ) is actually made using Tea leaves.

Herbal Infusions are made using flowers, fruits, and herbs.

Some of my favorite flavors are : Tazo Mambo, Tazo Passion, Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime, Celestial Seasonings Cranberry Cove, Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple and Peppermint.


I would love to try some new brands and flavors if anyone has any suggestions ?

But hurry .... I am drinking SleepyTime now and will soon be in dreamland.

Geez ... I waited up for nothing ?

Sorry, have never tried herbal infused teas before, I don't think. Does mint tea count? That's been so far my favorite. Have never tried any of the others yet, but now I think I should.

I like them because they are better for me than soda pop, and don't jitter me up like coffee. And on a freezing winter day, they are great to curl up with a kitty and a book and look out the window while I drink them.

I drink a lot of tea, though it's mostly Earl Grey. The lipton, I use for sweet tea. I drink English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast too, along with the mint. Mint tea, I drink more to unwind.

I like coffee every now and then, but caffeine doesn't do anything for me, except maybe makes me sleepy (sometimes).

I like the herbal stuff because a lot of it taste sweet anyway so I don't have to use a lot of sugar. Anything made with Hibiscus flowers is good to me !
