What Are the Drawbacks of Herbal Teas?

Drawbacks of Herbal Teas

Of course, there are a few drawbacks with herbal teas. First off, at least here in the USA, there is simply sooooooo many herbal teas on the market...you have no clue on where to begin.
Secondly, even once you find a herbal tea "type" (such as peppermint herbal teas) that you like, the quality among teas and tea manufacturers vary GREATLY. I've had some wonderful herbal teas, along with a few I would sink in Boston Harbor myself if I happened to live there. Thus...just like in the world of "real tea," there are quality herbal teas...and not-so-great-quality herbal teas.
And finally...there is the "anti-oxidant" thing. Many herbal teas DO contain anti-oxidants, simply because what is added to the tea happens to contain them. But...by and large...most herbal teas do NOT contain anti-oxidants. And the reason for this is simple...the "real" tea plant camellia sinensis is what gives black, green, white and oolong tea their much sought after anti-oxidants. Since "real" tea leaves are not used in herbal teas, you thus get no anti-oxidants unless some other exotic ingredient that is added into the herbal tea happens to contain them...which is not common.
Thus...if you are drinking teas for their anti-oxidants, then herbal teas are probably not for you. Of course, on the flip side...herbal teas have a wide variety of health benefits all their own...benefits not found in traditional teas.
