So...what is a herbal tea? Well...let us start out with what a herbal tea is NOT!
A herbal tea is NOT, repeat NOT, tea. So then why are herbal teas called a "tea." Good question...but one that probably goes back to some tradition or another that says anything added to hot water becomes a "tea."
But in any event...yes, a herbal tea is NOT a true tea. Technically speaking, in order for something to be considered a true "tea," the plant that is used must come from the tea plant, camellia sinensis.
To put it simply...a tea is "only a true tea" if it actually contains tea plant leaves. And thus...this is why oolong, white, green and black are considered "true teas," as their leaves come from the actual tea plant camellia sinensis. By contrast, rooibos and herbal teas do NOT contain leaves from the tea plant.
