FOUNDATIONS
There are a lot of things out there called "tea" – herbs, roots, mushrooms, flowers, you name it. But in fact, most of those are not tea.
Think about it this way:
All tea comes from a group of plants in the Camellia family.
We take leaves from the Camellia plant and steep them in water.
Anything else is not actually tea. The word for different plants steeped in water is "tisane."
Just like you wouldn't put kidney beans in water and call it "coffee," we don't just call any old plant "tea."
Most commercially-available teas today are produced without respect for the plant or the planet.
