What’s the difference between green, black, and herbal teas?
Herbal teas are not made from the tea plant, and are not actual tea, but herb tisanes or infusions. Black and green tea (as well as oolong and white tea) are from the same plant but processed differently. Green tea has been oxidized less than black which results in less caffeine (15mg vs. 40mg per cup). My article, “The Definitions of Different Types of Tea” will provide you with even more specifics.
