Iced, hot, or in-between: How to enjoy teas, tisanes, and all their health benefits

Whether you want to warm up in the winter or cool down in the summer, herbal tea can be enjoyed all year round: iced, hot, or in between!

The health benefits can also be enjoyed whether you drink it hot or cold, but these benefits vary widely depending on the type of tea you drink.

Herbal teas, unlike traditional teas such as green tea, oolong tea and black tea, are not made from the tea plant known as Camellia sinensis.

Green tea, black tea, white tea, oolong tea and Pu-erh tea all come from the same plant: Camellia sinensis, literally meaning "camellia of China" in homage to the homeland of this plant. Herbal teas, on the other hand, are derived from a variety of flowers, spices, herbs and dried fruits. This means there is a wide variety of flavors and options when it comes to choosing teas for their taste and health benefits. You'll find herbal teas from all over the world, including China, Africa and the Americas.

It's no secret that tea is a popular choice for people who want to improve their health naturally. Unlike coffee and traditional teas, most herbal teas do not contain caffeine. They also contain nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that vary depending on the herbal blend.

The main health benefits of drinking herbal teas include relaxation, pain reduction and improvement of the digestive and immune systems.

Enjoying herbal teas over ice is a great way to enjoy their benefits and beat the heat! Now that you know the many benefits of herbal teas, let's dive into the world of iced tea!
