What are tisanes (herbal infusions)?
A tisane (tee-zahn) is the French term for an herbal infusion (often erroneously called an ‘herbal tea’), and is any infusion made from a plant other than tea. These are very popular beverages in many countries, and some examples are Lemon Balm, Chamomile, and Rooibos. Infusions of dried fruit are also referred to as tisanes. While still more popular in Europe than North America, tisanes are nevertheless a large portion of the infused beverage market. In the sub menu we will highlight some of the more common tisanes.
