What is the Difference?

Tea

“Tea” typically refers to an infusion using plants that contains caffeine. Plants that are used to make tea include camellia sinensis & yaupon (both grown @ Julian Tea Company), and yerba mate (grown in a more sub-tropical environment).

Tisane

Tisanes are infusions or decoctions make from plants that are caffeine-free and can be served hot or cold. Tisanes are most often referred to as “herbal teas”.
