Herbal Teas

Why Herbal tea?
Herbal tea is a blend of real tea prepared by adding other plants to an actual tea (black, oblong, green, yellow or white tea). The quality of Herbal tea depends first on using good tealeaves. The addition of other plant increases the taste, aroma, freshness and medicinal property of the real tea.

Herbal teas are often consumed for their physical or medicinal effects, especially for their stimulant, relaxant or sedative properties. To counteract the various complications and side effects of an ailment, or to produce a more rounded taste, a number of herbs may be mixed. A well-known mixture used against a cold includes eucalyptus leaf and mint leaf (which contains Menthol)

Some popular herbal teas include mint, chamomile, dandelion, Elderflower, hibiscus, nettle, and various species of mint. Each herb has unique medicinal properties and a range of secondary effects; and this is linked to its use as a casual drink. For instance, Borage can be used medicinally (amongst other things) as an aid against depression; and it may be drunk more casually to lift the spirits. It was traditionally served as a pep drink for weary travelers. Secondary effects include use as an anti-inflammatory or balsam; and hormonal and metabolic regulation. Other herbs may have similar side effects, but in different proportions and are used in different ways.
