RE: Tea Time! You Can Order Beyond Organic, Wildcrafted Herbal Tea Blends Lovingly Grown, Harvested, Dried & Processed in Our Ecovillage
I love this post, however; the blends you have are tisane blends. Tea is specifically from the plant Camellia sinensis. A tisane is an infusion (as of dried herbs) used as a beverage or for medicinal effects.
Thanks for the new vocab - clarity is important for effective communications! We thought it was pretty clear that these are herbal blends that do not contain the actual tea plant, and use the word "tea" more colloquially here to indicate a beverage made of plants.
Even "tea" or tisane as you suggest are limiting for these herbal blends, because they can be used for much more than beverages. We also use them in sachets, baths, cooking, and even smoking blends where we crush and mix them with our organic, homegrown tobacco!
