Difference between infusion and herbal tea: which is it and how to choose the best?

How many times, on the long, cold winter days, customers have entered your shop ordering a herbal tea and, when you showed them the sachets, they complained, saying that no, those weren’t herbal teas, but an infusion. At this point there must have been a moment of perplexity.

Tell the truth, you didn’t know there was a real difference between the two, but in reality it is exactly like that. Indeed, there are real substantial differences between herbal tea and infusion.

Infusion or herbal tea: what’s the difference?

We often tend to think that herbal tea and infusion are the exact same thing, however there are substantial differences between one and the other. Certainly the first essential difference between infusion and herbal tea is found in the selection of ingredients.

The infusion, as the word itself says, is a drink obtained from the infusion, that is, from the contact of water (hot or cold)  with flowers, fruits, roots and leaves: chamomile and karkadè are just two of the infusions created with these types of ingredients.

Chamomile is obtained through an infusion of its flowers, while karkadè is a slightly bitter and bright red infusion obtained from the leaves of the Hibiscus flower.

Finally, a type of infusion famous throughout the world is tea, a drink obtained from the infusion of the leaves of a plant in hot water. Depending on the type of leaf, an infinite variety of teas can be obtained, from white to green. , to black, up to red.

Furthermore, the infusion is drunk only for the pleasant flavour, it does not carry any type of beneficial property within it.

Instead, herbal tea is a combination of various medicinal plants, so it is not drunk just for the pleasure of drinking it, but it also has many beneficial properties.

A good herbal tea is usually composed of a dominant plant that carries the main property, and other secondary ones that enhance its beneficial action. Naturally caffeine-free, they are perfect at any time of the day, from breakfast to the evening before going to sleep.
