what is herbal tea?

let's clarify this first – no tea leaves are included in herbal tea! it has the term 'tea' in its name due to the tea-like brewing and drinking process.

not having tea leaves also means that it’s not sourced from the camellia sinensis plant. so then? well…natural ingredients, like fresh or dried herbs, flowers or fruits are steeped in water to get herbal tea (or tisane).

now, plenty of these ingredients in nature translates to nearly limitless flavour options. that means, even if you’re picky with flavours, chances are you’ll find an herbal tea that suits your taste.

it’s not just about the taste, though – herbal tea also brings potential health benefits. like zero caffeine! perfect for when you need a refreshing break. so, if you’re thinking of adding a healthy drink to your routine, we highly recommend a cup of teapigs herbal tea.

history and origin of herbal tea:

The history and origin of herbal tea can be traced back thousands of years, with roots deeply intertwined with ancient cultures and traditional medicine practices. The origins of herbal tea can be found in ancient civilizations such as ancient Egypt, China and India, where herbal remedies were valued for their medicinal properties. As trade routes expanded and interactions between cultures flourished, the knowledge of herbal tea preparation spread across the world. Indigenous communities in different regions also contributed to the growing diversity of herbal tea blends, incorporating locally available plants and herbs into their brews. Throughout history, herbal tea has played a vital role in traditional healing practices, passed down through generations. Today, with a deep appreciation for the rich history of herbal tea, we are committed to offering a wide array of flavours and benefits through our exquisite herbal tea bags.

difference between loose leaf tea and herbal teabags

easy to brew

leaf qualities

The superior quality of loose tea with its unbroken or larger broken leaves, ensures a flavourful brew.
